Major development in Coventry next to the M6 ​​could go ahead as ‘prime’ land is sold

A major development in Coventry near the M6 ​​could go ahead as ‘prime’ land has been sold. The land is off Wilsons Lane/A444 in Longford, Coventry, known as the ‘Golden Triangle’.

Part of the field is already ready to play home new houses. Taylor Wimpey will create up to 73 homes and construction will start in early 2025. Now a large part of the land has been sold to Panattoni, Europe’s leading logistics property developer.

It will create 600,000 square meters of retail space and Greg Titley, who represents Panattoni, said: “Securing this site aligns with our mission to develop premier logistics space in Europe. The excellent transport links and strategic location will serve our customers exceptionally well.”

The deal for the sale of the commercial element of the land was concluded by Holt Property in association with L&Q Estates. Justin Quibell of Holt Property explained: “This successful sale is a testament to the dedication and strategic foresight of our team.

“The site’s prime location and significant scale represent an outstanding opportunity for commercial and residential development, marking a milestone achievement for Holt Property and our partners.”
