Developer Chancerygate has proposed the construction of a 59,500 sq. ft Grade A Urban Logistics and industrial space in Clayton, East Manchester, named Eastside. This potential development could generate up to 60 jobs. The scheme will feature nine units, varying from 4,000 to 14,000 sq. ft, available for purchase or lease, with an estimated development value of £15m.

Located on a 2.3-acre site, previously home to Walkers Printing facility, Eastside is conveniently situated on Crabtree Lane, less than three miles from Manchester City Centre and close to the M60 motorway. The area already houses a retail development with Aldi, Subway and Greggs.

Adjacent to Manchester City Football Club’s Etihad campus and the forthcoming £365m Co-Op Live entertainment venue, the Eastside project aligns with the Eastlands Regeneration Area. Each unit will incorporate environmentally friendly features like electric vehicle charging points and solar panels, aiming for an excellent energy efficiency rating.

Chris Brown, Chancerygate's development director, emphasised the critical need for quality industrial and logistics space for SMEs in East Manchester. He noted the development's strategic location, making it attractive across various sectors and contributing to the area's ongoing large-scale regeneration.

Chancerygate is actively involved in developing approximately 2.65 million sq. ft of urban logistics space across 19 sites from Edinburgh to Chichester.
