Work has started on site at ARK, a new 107,000sq ft development at Markham Vale, Derbyshire.

 

We have been appointed to deliver the four units, which are expected to complete in Q4 2025.

 

The £19m GDV scheme will be delivered by Origin, the UK-focused industrial and logistics platform formed by HBD, part of Henry Boot, and Feldberg Capital.

 

Markham Vale is a flagship 200-acre industrial and logistics scheme which was delivered by HBD in joint venture with Derbyshire County Council. An award-winning development, it sits at the heart of the UK motorway network with direct access to the M1 via a dedicated junction, J29a. 

 

It is home to a range of businesses, including advanced manufacturers and logistics providers, with occupiers including Bilstein Group, Granger International and Sterigenics. More than 2,600 jobs have been created at Markham Vale since work began in 2006.

We’re delighted to have been appointed by Origin as lead contractor for this scheme. This not only reflects our commitment to delivering excellent projects, but also allows us to build on our extensive experience in the industrial and logistics sector. We’re proud to be playing an important role in creating a state-of-the-art development that will meet the highest industry standards and contribute to driving innovation and growth within the region.

Ryan O'Loughlin, Regional Director

Vivienne Clements, Executive Director at HBD, commented: “Markham Vale is one of the region’s leading I&L locations so it’s positive to be able to deliver further Grade A space, which remains in short supply. Like all of our Origin developments, all four units will have market-leading ESG credentials, prioritising sustainability and securing both BREEAM Excellent and EPC A ratings. We look forward to seeing ARK begin to take shape, attracting additional inward investment and creating new jobs.”

 

Jamie Acheson, Managing Director of Feldberg Capital, added: “Origin was launched in December 2024, with the joint venture aiming to deliver circa £1bn of high-quality industrial and logistics schemes over the next seven years. The platform will own and develop next generation, ESG-compliant I&L assets in the UK’s mid box market.”

 

The agents for ARK are JLL and CPP.
