Work starts on London Gateway’s biggest warehouse yet

[ November 18, 2020   //   ]

DP World London Gateway has started building its largest site to date at the port’s logistics park, for DHL Supply Chain. Work to prepare the plot for the 482,000 sq ft warehouse is underway, with main building work due to start in early 2021. On completion, DHL will lease the facility from DP World London Gateway.

The 42m high bay warehouse will have 36m of clear internal eaves height and 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.

Full planning permission for the new warehouse was received in 24 days through London Gateway’s Local Development Order.
