Delivering 59,950 sq ft of purpose‑built distribution space, the DPD facility at Northminster Business Park establishes a modern, efficient and future‑ready logistics base to the west of York. The development combines high‑volume warehouse capacity with a high‑quality workplace environment, ensuring smooth day‑to‑day operations for staff and fleet alike.

A striking double‑height glazed atrium forms the heart of the two‑storey office accommodation, leading into a mix of flexible meeting rooms, open‑plan offices, and dedicated welfare areas. Kitchens and breakout spaces on both floors support a comfortable and collaborative working environment.

The warehouse is designed for fast‑moving distribution activity, with a 9m‑haunch steel portal frame, high‑performance composite cladding, and multiple vehicle access points including front and side dock levellers—all arranged to accommodate the full range of DPD fleet vehicles. A run of roof‑mounted photovoltaic panels along the southern elevation adds on‑site renewable energy generation.

Externally, a wrap‑around service yard simplifies circulation and improves operational flow, supported by segregated access routes for safety. Ample parking—including electric vehicle charging—further future‑proofs the scheme. Achieving BREEAM Very Good, the project brings both environmental responsibility and new employment opportunities to the York area.
