Europe-wide logistics developer Panattoni to speculatively build 65,890 sq ft industrial unit in Haydock close to the M6 and fronting onto the East Lancs Road.
It has acquired the site from Bericote Properties and will push on with the development of Haydock 66. Construction will start on site over this summer with practical completion in the first quarter of 2026.
This development forms part of Panattoni’s long-term strategy to strengthen its presence in key logistics corridors and deliver high-specification, future-proof industrial space across the country.
The new facility will be delivered to the “highest sustainability standards”, targeting both BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC A certifications. The building offers 11-metre clear internal height, two level access loading doors, and six dock loading doors, including two Euro dock bays.
Haydock 66 also includes a significant level of infrastructure to support modern occupiers. The site provides 65 car parking spaces, including 14 EV charging points, four designated car share bays, and four accessible bays.
There are also 11 dedicated HGV parking spaces, 36 cycle storage spaces, and four motorcycle bays. The facility is equipped with a sprinkler tank area and benefits from rooftop solar panels.
Inside, the office accommodation will be fully fitted, and features raised access floors on the upper level to suit a range of the occupier’s needs.

Dan Burn, head of development, North West and Yorkshire at Panattoni, said: “This project also reflects Panattoni’s commitment to speculative development across all tenant types, including active growth for SMEs looking to expand in the mid-box market.
“The acquisition of the Haydock site enhances our strategic position in the North West, a region with resilient occupier demand and supply constraints for modern, sustainable industrial stock.”
