A major development is being completed, forming a new logistics and industrial hub. This marks another milestone in a project to boost regional employment and sustainability.
McLaren Construction Midlands and North has finished work on Plot 3 at Matrix 49, a 13-acre site in Avonmouth delivered on behalf of Equation Properties. The £21.6 million development includes a 219,660 sq. ft warehouse, more than 11,000 sq. ft of office space, a control tower, gatehouse, parking facilities, landscaping, and drainage and road access infrastructure.
The broader 65-acre scheme is being transformed into a logistics hub with strong transport links and has been designed to meet a BREEAM Excellent rating for sustainability. As part of the works, contractors managed complex ground conditions and diverted a waterway while coordinating with ecological experts to protect local water voles. Construction is underway on the next phase, Plot 4, a 596,000 sq. ft speculative warehouse scheduled for completion in April 2026. Gary Cramp, managing director of McLaren Construction Midlands and North, said: “Completing Plot 3 is a significant step forward in realising the vision for Matrix 49. Our team has worked diligently to deliver high-quality, sustainable space on time and to a high standard. We now look ahead to delivering Plot 4, which will build on the momentum and quality established across this transformative scheme.”
