New opportunities for manufacturing and logistics in Loughborough!

A brand new high-tech manufacturing and logistics space has been announced for Falcon Park in Loughborough and businesses who choose to invest here will soon be flying high!

The green light has been given to this new development which promises a massive boost to the local economy and has the potential to create fantastic economic growth and new employment opportunities.

Expected to provide 300,000 square feet of space at a well-established business park with fantastic local and national connections, this is the ideal opportunity for manufacturing and logistics firms who are looking to expand.

Leicestershire is already recognised as a hub for logistics businesses, due to its central location in the UK, proximity to the East Midlands Airport Freeport and having easy access to the M1, M69 and A14 main roads meaning Leicester, Nottingham and Derby are only a short drive away. Falcon business park is located in the centre of Loughborough, very close to the Midland Mainline railway service between London (1hr 15m) and Sheffield (1 hr).

The new development will feature a mix of manufacturing and logistics space, complementing existing high-bay manufacturing buildings, with units ranging from 3,900 to 110,000 sq ft. This is ideal for both traditional and high-tech manufacturers alongside modern logistics operators.

The new units will be modern and sustainable, with a strong emphasis on ESG credentials and constructed to a BREEAM Excellent standard and an EPC A rating whilst also incorporating features targeting power generation, energy consumption and drainage management.

The project, which has just been granted planning consent, is being led by Aureon Partners and Arax Properties and will be created across two adjacent sites at Falcon Park in Loughborough.

Giles Morse, Partner, Arax Properties: “We are excited to get the go ahead to develop new, high quality business space providing flexibility for a range of occupiers within this very well-established business park with an illustrious manufacturing history. This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of a thriving business community, capitalising on its heritage, community and strategic location.”

Phase 1 of the new development, Falcon Park North, is expected to be ready for occupation from Q4 2026.
