Bridges and our partner Graftongate have completed the sale of Nursling 135, one of the UK’s most sustainable industrial buildings, to a global real estate investor.

The scheme comprises 135,000 sq.ft. of low-carbon logistics units on a six-acre brownfield site in Southampton.

Nursling 135 is rated EPC A+, BREEAM Outstanding and has zero operational carbon, with photovoltaic panels providing over 100% of the site’s energy needs, 10 electric vehicle charging points on site and rainwater harvesting technology contributing to water efficiency 50% above the BREEAM baseline.

Henry Pepper, Partner at Bridges Fund Management, said: “This EPC A+, zero operational carbon development is a great example of Bridges’ ongoing commitment to developing highly sustainable industrial buildings, which are increasingly attractive to a range of occupiers and investors looking to reduce operating costs and meet their own net zero goals.

“Our partnership with Graftongate has allowed us to regenerate this underused brownfield site and create a development that will support local employment growth.”

Alex Thomason, Director at Graftongate, added: “This deal reflects strong investor demand for well-located logistics space and demonstrates how sustainable development can deliver both environmental impact and commercial value.

“We’re proud to have delivered a high-quality building in partnership with Bridges.”
