Telford and Wrekin’s commercial property market is set for significant growth with the development of new Grade A distribution warehouses at Hortonwood.

New industrial units at Hortonwood set to boost Telford’s commercial market

Led by Total Developments, this £35 million project will provide 350,000 square feet of high-quality industrial space, meeting the borough’s increasing demand for flexible manufacturing and distribution facilities.

Part of Telford & Wrekin Council’s successful Land Deal, the development, known as Total Park, will provide four modern units of varying sizes, creating flexible opportunities for expanding businesses. Expected to create hundreds of jobs, the scheme will support Telford’s expanding industrial base, further cementing the borough as a key location for commercial investment. All units are now completed and ready for occupation.

The Hortonwood development is another success story from the Telford Land Deal, a partnership between Telford & Wrekin Council and Homes England. Since its establishment, the Land Deal has created more than 2,400 jobs, transformed over 200,000 square metres of commercial space and generated over £60 million in sales income. The Hortonwood project is the latest example of how the deal continues to drive business growth and investment in Telford.

Ed Chantler, Director at Total Developments, said: “We’re excited to be delivering this development at Hortonwood, which will be a crucial addition to Telford’s commercial market. These units will help meet the rising demand for industrial space and attract businesses looking for modern, adaptable facilities.”

Councillor Richard Overton, Telford & Wrekin Council Deputy Leader and Chair of the Telford Land Deal Board, said: “This new development is a prime example of how Telford is continuing to meet the demands of growing businesses, providing high-quality space for companies looking to expand or relocate. It also underlines Telford & Wrekin Council’s commitment to creating jobs and driving economic growth, as part of our vision to protect, care, and invest to create a better borough. We look forward to welcoming new occupiers to Telford in the near future.”
