Welcome
IM Properties is bringing forward proposals to expand Mercia Park on land to the north of Junction 11 of the A/M42 in North West Leicestershire.
The business is developing proposals for the expansion on land to the east of Mercia Park, having successfully completed the ground-breaking development which is now home to JLR’s Global Logistics Centre (Unipart) and a flagship facility for global transport and logistics company DSV.
The proposed expansion will enable DSV to build on its success operating in this location with a new circa 600,000 sq ft building.
DSV's proposed expansion would create 420 new jobs and follows its continued growth at Mercia Park. The business, which is headquartered in Denmark, currently employs nearly 400 people at its state-of-the-art UK flagship facility serving major brands across the retail, wholesale and ecommerce sectors.
North West Leicestershire District Council's draft Local Plan has proposed the land to the north of Junction 11, M42 as a potential allocation for strategic distribution, recognising that new development at this site could capitalise on the profile and infrastructure at Mercia Park.
