The milestone was marked with a steel signing ceremony attended by Rugby MP John Slinger, senior cabinet members from Rugby Borough Council, Warwickshire County Councillors, and local planning and investment officers alongside representatives from BARJANE and Glencar’s delivery team. Attendees signed one of the core steels that will form part of the structure, symbolising progress and shared commitment to delivering a best-in-class logistics facility.

Strategically located within the UK’s ‘Golden Logistics Triangle’, Rugby 106 sits on Central Park Estate, home to major occupiers including Sainsbury’s, XPO, and Continental. The site offers immediate access to the M6 (J1) and is just 3.5 miles from the M1 (J19), ensuring excellent national connectivity.

Stuart Cowan

Operations Director at Glencar

“We’re proud to be delivering this best-in-class logistics facility for European Developer BARJANE - our first project together. The steel signing marks an important construction milestone, and it’s fantastic to celebrate the progress on site with so many of the stakeholders who have helped shape the development.”

The presence of local councillors and the MP highlighted the strength of community interest in the project and the value of a responsible, partnership-led approach. Glencar works closely with its clients to help deliver high-quality buildings and developments that engage local stakeholders and leave a positive legacy.

Ish Mistry

Deputy Leader of Rugby Borough Council

“It was great to be a part of the celebrations and see the site's development at Rugby 106. I thought initially it would be just another warehouse, but having been to the site and talked to the key people on site, I applaud the ethical approach and working to a high standard of sustainable construction. I also admire their social values in supporting the local labour force and engaging with the local education establishments.”

The high-specification scheme encompasses some 87,000 sq. ft of workspace with further operational mezzanine space and two floors of offices to create a 106,000 sq. ft facility, which features:

  • Fully flexible operational mezzanine level
  • A targeted BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ rating
  • Rooftop solar panels and air source heat pumps
  • A targeted EPC A + rating
  • A clear 14m internal height
  • High-quality offices and employee welfare facilities
  • First floor open terrace and amenity spaces
The project is now underway, with completion and readiness for occupation scheduled for Q1 2026.
