Progress on site of a speculative industrial unit in Leigh, Greater Manchester, designed & managed by PAB Architects

PAB Architects partnered with our industrial and commercial sector client which is developing a speculative build industrial unit on a busy industrial estate in Leigh, Greater Manchester, with the expectation of selling it to a buyer or leasing it to a future business tenant.

This particular unit has been designed with versatility in mind, allowing for modifications to suit different industries or uses which will make this industrial unit in Leigh attractive to a wide range of potential occupiers, buyers or tenants. As for the end buyer or tenant, this speculative industrial unit build will be immediately ready for occupancy upon completion, meaning there is no construction wait time which often comes with custom builds. 

As a RIBA Chartered Practice, PAB Architects supports the architectural design and project management of both speculative and custom build industrial unit and commercial premises projects, always accommodating our clients' needs, delivering excellence in customer service and making a lasting, positive impact on local communities through the design of useful, appealing industrial units that help businesses to grow.

Industrial unit architectural design, project management & development that brings new economic opportunities to Leigh, Greater Manchester

Part of Greater Manchester, Leigh is an industrial town with a rich history of coal mining, cotton milling, and other connected industries. Over the years, and like many others in the region, the town has experienced economic changes, seeing the decline of traditional industries and the rise of others, such as retail, digital and creative sectors. 

Leigh is a well-connected hub for residents and businesses, and its close proximity to the major cities of Liverpool and Manchester provides opportunities for businesses to access larger regional and national markets.

PAB Architects' team in Leigh always enjoys working on the design and development of new industrial units, contributing to the local economy through the creation of new premises that increase job opportunities, support local services and infrastructure, and contribute to the overall development and regeneration of the town and Greater Manchester by attracting investment.

Currently, the foundation and cladding stages of this new industrial unit designed and project managed by PAB Architects' local Leigh team have been completed and we're now approaching the framing stage of construction where windows, doors and the roof will be installed.

This stage of the construction process directly influences the functionality of the building, giving it stability and support, and ensuring that the unit can withstand external forces, such as the unpredictable British weather.
