Work has begun on a 482,000 sq ft warehouse for the world’s leading contract logistics provider, DHL Supply Chain, at DP World London Gateway.
In a joint enterprise, DHL will construct a brand-new bespoke facility at Plot 3040 on London Gateway’s Logistics Park. Work to prepare the plot is underway, with the main facility build due to commence in early 2021. On completion, DHL will lease the facility from DP World London Gateway.
The 42m high bay warehouse will feature 36m of clear internal eaves height and boast an internal volume equivalent to 645 Olympic swimming pools. The facility will be completed to a BREEAM Outstanding rating and will be fully automated, ready for operation in early 2023.
