Readie Construction will be main contractor on the £50m first phase at Icon Harlow.

The scheme is being developed by Icon Industrial – a joint venture formed by Stoford Developments and TPG Real Estate.

The first phase involves construction of two 68,100 sq ft and 96,827 sq ft units.

Work will start in November with the first units expected to be available for occupation from Q3 2019.

Phase two of the development will provide further build to suit units of up to 200,000 sq ft.

Tony Nash, director of Stoford Developments, said: “This is a landmark development for the north London market and also for Icon Industrial.

“It presents potential occupiers with an excellent opportunity to secure a striking new warehouse/logistics development that will offer exceptional quality, in a premier business location.”

Icon Industrial recently revealed plans for a new £60m global content creation studio in Manchester for The Hut Group, providing 104,000 sq ft of office space over four floors, as well as additional content creation facilities totaling 168,000 sq ft.
