Work begins on final phase of multi-million-pound industrial hub

Indurent has started work on the final phase of a 50-acre industrial hub in Derby.

Indurent Park Derby, which is being created on land adjacent to Pride Park and Wyvern Retail Park, was originally conceived as a seven-year, six-phase scheme.

However, the site is set to be completed in just four years as industrial and logistics developer Indurent has started the speculative development of the final phase, which includes 43,000 sq ft of office space.

The firm has said the estate for high-tech manufacturing, R&D and logistics will be finished ahead of schedule due to high demand.

Rob Richardson, development director at Indurent, said: “The start of the final phase at Derby is a significant milestone and the accelerated development programme underlines our conviction for the location as one of the UK’s fastest-growing manufacturing hubs.

“The park is home to a wide range of businesses and supports hundreds of high-skilled jobs, reflecting the adaptability of modern industrial buildings.

“We anticipate strong interest in the final unit as demand for modern, high-spec space in the region continues to outweigh supply.”

Indurent Park Derby is currently home to Rolls-Royce, which occupies a 148,000 sq ft facility completed last year, as well as heat pump manufacturer Vaillant, Swedish medical technology company Getinge and a national training centre for Kia.

Winvic Construction is the principal contractor for the final phase, having built the previous three phases at the park.

Danny Nelson, managing director – industrial, distribution & logistics at Winvic, said: “We’re proud to continue our partnership with Indurent, delivering the final phase of Indurent Park Derby – a testament to our commitment to supporting our clients in meeting the demand for high-quality, sustainable, manufacturing, R&D, and logistics space.

“As with the earlier phases we’ve successfully completed, our expertise and strong collaboration will support us in meeting the fast-track programme and we look forward to handing over the project in December 2025.”
