Greenbox Darlington, a recently completed logistics park in North East England, has secured its first tenant. Wolseley, a UK-based distributor specialising in plumbing, heating, cooling, and infrastructure products, has agreed to lease Unit 2, a 107,775 sq ft facility within the development. The site, delivered through a joint venture between Partners Group and logistics developer Citivale, was completed in March 2025. It comprises three industrial units ranging from 84,950 to 215,360 sq ft and was developed with a focus on sustainability. All units meet BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC ‘A’ standards and were built to achieve Net Zero Carbon performance in both construction and operation. Wolseley’s new facility is intended to support its national branch network, offering modern distribution capacity aligned with the company’s environmental objectives. The facility is located near the A66 and A1(M), providing logistical access across the UK. Citivale CEO James Appleton-Metcalfe noted that securing Wolseley as the first tenant demonstrates the growing demand for energy-efficient logistics space in the region. Greenbox Darlington is part of a broader effort to meet increased demand for low-carbon logistics infrastructure. The development was marketed by HTA Real Estate and Savills, with Wolseley represented by Lambert Smith Hampton.
