ProLogis Park Coventry

The Requirement

ProLogis Park Coventry is a 265 acre mixed-use development that has been built on the site of the former Coventry Colliery and Homefire coke-producing plant. Before starting construction work, ProLogis had to carry out an extensive £18 million programme to improve the infrastructure, which included retaining and improving the existing colliery rail link.

As a former colliery and coke-producing plant, the site was heavily contaminated and one of the first steps that ProLogis took was to remediate the land.
Once this phase was completed, parklands, lakes, footpaths and cycleways were created alongside the on-site road network.
The rail-link was also re-instated and a dedicated Rail Management Company was established to administer the use of the track and to organise the maintenance of the line.
Off-site works included a new road linking the site to the A444 and extensive works to Junction 3 of the M3, including widening the slip roads and installing traffic lights.

Since the completion of these infrastructure works, ProLogis Park Coventry has created new homes, a 60 acre country park and thousands of new jobs for the area, making a significant contribution to the regeneration of the north Coventry region
