Wrenbridge and Railpen Begin Construction on High-Spec 122,820 sq ft Logistics and Industrial Development, South Mimms X

Construction is officially underway at South Mimms X, a new 122,820 sq ft prime logistics and industrial scheme developed by Wrenbridge, in partnership with funder Railpen. Scheduled for completion in Spring 2027, the scheme adds another Grade A industrial asset to the surrounding M25 logistics market through the ongoing partnership between Wrenbridge and Railpen.

Situated at the intersection of the M25 and A1(M), just 14.5 miles from central London, the strategically located development provides seamless distribution access throughout the South East. The unit features a 68m secure gated yard, 13 dock loading doors, two Euro dock doors, and two level access doors. Grade-A office accommodation benefits from full-height glazing in the enhanced reception space and passenger lift access.

Designed for operational efficiency and employee wellbeing, the scheme incorporates air-source heating and cooling, EV charging, green-roof cycle shelters, and dedicated outdoor amenity areas complete with on-site showers and changing facilities.

Modern ESG benchmarks are woven directly into the building’s architecture, with the scheme set to deliver net-zero carbon performance alongside BREEAM Outstanding and EPC A+ ratings. The development integrates 2.5 acres of outdoor environmental space, complete with an urban orchard and wildlife ponds designed to generate a 30% biodiversity net gain.
