Triton Construction has delivered a £3m industrial scheme in Liverpool city region for Redsun Projects.

Built at Knowsley Hub, the 36,000 sq ft scheme comprises five units ranging from 6,000 sq ft to 10,000 sq ft. Joinery chain Howdens is already taking occupation of unit two of the development.

Knowsley Hub is a highly prominent site fronting South Boundary Road at the main entrance to Knowsley Industrial Estate. Occupiers include Amazon, Ocado and QVC.

Following a competitive tender, Triton was contracted to deliver the scheme. This included groundworks remediation, partial demolition of an adjacent building and existing hard standing, and full design and build of the units to incorporate offices and yard space.

Paul Clarkson, managing director at Triton, said: “We are delighted to complete our first project for Redsun Projects which is one of the most active logistics space developers in the North West.

“With recent contract successes with other high-profile developers for schemes ranging in size up to 185,000 sq ft, we are forging a strong reputation for delivering turnkey solutions in a sector where demand is now critical.”

Triton also completed the diversion of an existing public sewer, surface water drainage, attenuation and foul water drainage, a new concrete service yard, hard and soft landscaping, car parking and lighting.

Nick Wightman, director at Redsun Projects, added: “We are really pleased with the result at Knowsley Hub. Occupier demand remains strong for good quality, energy efficient units in a high-profile location, and Knowsley Hub certainly ticks all those boxes.

“We have a further 5 five acres secured to deliver a second phase and expect to bring that forward early 2023.”
