Colliers, on behalf of vendors JLR, has disposed of the final plot at Browns Lane Coventry.

Global industrial property group Goodman purchased the prime development site at Sayer Drive in Coventry. Spanning 7.5 acres, the site is adjacent to the established Lyons Park industrial estate which is home to tenants including Amazon, JLR and local businesses The Expert Group and Polymer Logistics. The site is under two miles from the A45 trunk road which links Coventry and Birmingham and benefits from being within a four-hour drive of 98 per cent of the UK. 

Simon Norton, director in the Industrial & Logistics team at Colliers, said: “It is great to see this final piece of land sold which will be redeveloped to complement the current work at Lyons Park, which was also originally developed by Goodman. Their plans will add to the quality, mix and range of commercial space in the area.”
