East Midlands Gateway

SEGRO Logistics Park East Midlands Gateway (SLPEMG) is a 700 acre development with planning consent for up to 6,000,000 sq ft of logistics accommodation. Planning was obtained in 2016, with the first four units were completed in 2019.

The development incorporates a 50 acre Strategic Rail Freight Interchange (SRFI) which will include a rail freight terminal, capable of handling up to sixteen 775m freight trains per day, container storage and HGV parking.

The site was sloping agricultural land and the masterplan integrated the new SRFI and development plateaus with retained woodland, extensive bunding to hide the development from neighbouring villages, and major alteration works to junction 24 M1 motorway.

The buildings have highlighted features in various colours, set against a common horizontal grey banding to the main warehouse, allowing the mass to blend into the sky.
