‘Extremely rare’ letting opportunity arises at vast logistics site next to Scotland’s busiest motorway
“Prime4Eight represents one of the most significant industrial and logistics opportunities currently available in Scotland” – Craig Semple, CBRE
One of Scotland’s largest speculative industrial developments is being brought to market.
Property firm CBRE has been appointed by Castlebrooke to bring Prime4Eight - a four-unit industrial and logistics development, totalling some 377,200 square feet - to market.
Prime4Eight, positioned along the key M8 corridor between Glasgow and Edinburgh, has planning consent for four Grade A industrial and logistics units, ranging in size from 77,200 sq ft to 150,300 sq ft.
The surrounding area has become one of Scotland’s most established logistics destinations, with junction four of the M8 accommodating major occupiers including Aldi, Schuh and GXO across approximately 2.2 million sq ft of warehouse space. The nearby Tesco distribution centre at junction five - spanning some two million sq ft - is said to further reinforce the strength of the location as a “premier distribution hub”.
Craig Semple, a director at CBRE, said: “Prime4Eight represents one of the most significant industrial and logistics opportunities currently available in Scotland. Schemes that are capable of accommodating large-scale occupiers, while offering immediate access to the M8 and a best-in-class specification, are extremely rare.
“Occupier demand continues to be driven by the need for high-quality, sustainable logistics space in well-connected locations, and Prime4Eight is exceptionally well placed to meet that requirement,” he added.
“With occupation anticipated from next year, and the industrial vacancy rate along the M8 corridor between Glasgow and Edinburgh currently hovering at a record-low of circa 2.5 per cent, we’re looking forward to engaging with occupiers seeking a future-proof solution in one of Scotland's most established logistics locations.”
The construction of unit one is anticipated to start in the third quarter and will be available for occupation from later in 2027. The remaining units will be available for “pre-let discussions” and further speculative development may commence following the success of phase one.
A spokesperson for Castlebrooke said: “Prime4Eight has been designed to meet the evolving needs of modern logistics occupiers, combining a strategic location with high-quality, sustainable accommodation in one of Scotland's most established distribution corridors.
“Bringing the scheme to market marks an important milestone, and we are pleased to be working with CBRE as we introduce this opportunity to occupiers.
“We are confident that Prime4Eight will attract significant interest from businesses looking for high-quality logistics space that supports their long-term operational and sustainability ambitions.”
