The second phase of development has begun at the 70-acre industrial and logistics scheme St Modwen Park Lincoln in Witham St Hughs.
As previously reported, the second phase which will create 960,000 square feet of commercial space was approved earlier this year, part of which had already been developed with occupiers including Apogee, Turbine Efficiency and DPDUK.
St Modwen’s Network 46 development will see two new business units of 55,000 sq ft and 25,000 sq ft created. The units will provide industrial and warehouse space with construction work expected to be completed by summer 2020.
As part of the work, Lindum will be engaging with the community in nearby Witham St Hughs and is planning to visit the primary school. It will also set up a collection point for the local food bank.
This follows the successful letting of two units delivered as part of the first phase of development, including Deutsche Post DHL and confectionary distributor NIC.
Deutsche Post DHL has occupied 32,000 sq ft on a 15-year lease with NIC in a 64,000 sq ft unit on a 10-year lease.
Nick Kay, Development Director at St. Modwen, said: “The units delivered as part of our first phase of development were quickly taken off the market by two very prestigious brands, demonstrating the strong appetite for well-located space.
“This second phase provides a further opportunity for medium-sized industrial and logistics businesses to take advantage of this popular, growing scheme.”
Joint agents for the scheme, Simon Lloyd, Partner at Cushman and Wakefield, and William Wall, Director at Banks Long, added: “St. Modwen Park Lincoln offers unrivalled transport links, giving occupiers the ability to easily carry out operations across the UK and overseas.
“Securing DHL and NIC as occupiers so soon after completing the first phase on-site shows that St. Modwen is highly-skilled in speculatively developing quality, flexible space and we suspect that these two new units won’t be on the market for long.”

The 32-year-old man and 30-year-old woman arrested in the murder probe of an 11-year-old boy in Lincoln have both been released on police bail, without any charges.
The man was arrested on suspicion of murder and the woman on suspicion of manslaughter after an incident at a house on Geneva Street on St Giles in Lincoln.
Police were called to the house at 10pm on Friday night, January 22.
The 11-year-old boy was found unwell at the scene and was taken to hospital for treatment.
He was pronounced dead a short time later.
At the time Lincolnshire Police said the death was unexplained and it was treated as murder.
The man and the woman arrested at the weekend were released on police bail on Monday evening.
Lincolnshire Police said in a statement on Monday night:
“Once again, we’d like to remind people that this is an active investigation and that an 11-year-old boy has sadly lost his life.
“Speculative comments are not only deeply upsetting to those involved but can potentially undermine our investigation.
“If you have any information that can help, call 101 or email [email protected] quoting incident 472 of January 22.”
Ten people from Boston have been given fines for breaching COVID-19 regulations by driving dangerously in supermarket car parks.
Officers were called after three separate reports of dangerous driving in the car parks of Lidl and Tesco in Wyberton Fen, as well as on Marsh Lane Industrial Estate in Boston.
All three incidents took place and were reported to police between 5pm and 6pm on Sunday, January 24, though it is unsure if they were connected at all.
When officers arrived, the drivers were seen doing donut manoeuvres and racing in the snow.
A total of 10 people were given £200 fines for breaking lockdown guidelines, but this will be reduced to £100 if paid within 14 days, due to all being first time offenders.
As well as the COVID-19 fines, two of the vehicles were also seized as a result of being uninsured, with drivers reported.
A traffic offence report was also submitted after one driver was seen to be driving not just dangerously but out of control.
Inspector Fran Harrod of Lincolnshire Police said: “We would like to thank the public for bringing these incidents of dangerous driving to our attention.
“This is not only extremely dangerous to those taking part but to others in these areas.
“While we continue to engage and explain with the public, this was a blatant breach of the restrictions which will not be tolerated.”
