Construction of £22 million business park near Walsall gathers pace
Frame complete less than five months since work began
These pictures show how work is gathering pace on a £22 million industrial park in the Black Country, just five months after work began.
Work only began on the Central Point scheme in Willenhall Road, Darlaston, on June 1, and already the steel frame is complete, with roofing and cladding advancing at a rapid rate.
The 93,000 sq ft project, which is visible from the Black Country Route, is due to open in February.
It is being built by Warwickshire-based developer Erdgard, in conjunction with the Oldbury-based Richardson group.
Gareth Williams, director at Erdgard, said: "There is a lack of good-quality new stock in the Walsall area and in the Black Country generally, so Central Point will deliver much needed grade A space.
“A commitment to speculative development is a demonstration of confidence in this location and market, and we look forward to early occupier discussions."
The scheme will provide six new units, which will be suitable either for industrial or logistics use.
