In December 2021, Pitalia Real Estate made its first move into the industrial and logistics space after acquiring assets at Winsford Industrial Estate in Cheshire.

We purchased Units 1-3 on Road Five of the 380-acre estate from Henkel UK Operations Limited in a deal that will see us acquire over 225,000 sq ft of industrial and warehouse space.

Home to over 140 employers across a range of sectors, the Winsford Industrial Estate was both the UK’s first green business park and first industrial estate to become a Business Improvement District (BID).  The estate is currently undergoing a major transformation and upgrade and is home to occupiers including Tiger Trailers, H&M, Coveris, Schoeller Allibert, Jiffy, Howard Tenens and Warehouse One.

Harlex Property were appointed as the development manager to refurbish and reposition Units 1 and 2 which are currently vacant transforming them into much needed, high-quality, modern industrial space.

Unit 3 has been leased back to Henkel on a 5-year term that will see them retain workforce on the plot.
