Glencar has been engaged at pre-construction stage to progress the Hillwood Park Luton scheme through the next phases of detailed design and delivery.

Developer Hillwood has secured planning for the 16 acre site which will contain 284,575 sq ft of new industrial and logistics accommodation across eight Grade-A units.

Construction is expected to begin in March with units ready for early occupation from January 2027.

Glencar has worked on other Hillwood schemes in Crewe and Wigan.

Peter Goodman, Managing Director at Glencar, said: “This third consecutive appointment with Hillwood reflects the strength of our relationship and our ability to consistently deliver high-quality industrial and logistics developments to exacting standards.

“Our early engagement on the scheme allows us to apply our technical expertise from the outset, driving buildability efficiencies, programme certainty and sustainable delivery.

“Hillwood Park Luton is another significant addition to our expanding industrial portfolio, and we look forward to mobilising on site and progressing the scheme safely and efficiently through to completion.”

Greg Dalton, UK Vice President at Hillwood, added: “Glencar has proven to be a reliable, hands-on partner across our previous schemes. This third appointment is a testament to the trust we’ve built and our shared focus on quality, programme certainty, and sustainable delivery.

“Hillwood Park Luton is a key addition to our growing UK pipeline. We look forward to delivering much needed Grade A space in this strategic location, with more details to be announced as we progress on-site.”
