On-site work will begin this month, with an expected completion date of April next year.

This is the second facility to be built at Symmetry Park in the town. Last February, a 312,875ft² building was finished and pre-leased for 15 years.

Tritax Symmetry’s development director and Northampton office head Jonathan Wallis said: “Our decision to speculatively develop Kettering 500 is a direct response to extensive research into the occupational market, which highlighted a supply vs demand imbalance in the 500,000ft² size bracket.

“Kettering 500 will showcase a best-in-class institutional specification, together with Tritax Symmetry’s own high design and sustainability standards.”
