Today, the Greenbox JV continues its rapid nationwide expansion with another major win: full reserved matters planning consent has been secured with North Yorkshire Council (NYC) for GB181, a new 181,742 sq ft Grade-A logistics and industrial unit at Greenbox Thirsk North Yorkshire.

Hot on the heels of their success at the speculative Greenbox Darlington development, this latest consent underscores Greenbox’s ability to deliver best-in-class, sustainable logistics space across strategic UK locations.

The 52-acre Greenbox Thirsk site already boasts full consent for GB365 (365,000 sq ft), and a Section 106 Agreement for GB272 (272,504 sq ft) is nearing completion with NYC; together forming a three-unit masterplan totalling 820,000 sq ft. The site however remains deliverable also through its Outline consent which affords it the flexibility to provide Units for SME’s of circa 12,000 sq ft, through to a single footprint of circa. 820,000 sq ft; one of the only sites in Yorkshire where this size of giga-shed can be delivered.

Built around responsible ESG principles, every Greenbox development targets BREEAM ‘Excellent’, EPC ‘A’ and Net Zero in Construction and Operation — setting a new benchmark for modern logistics design.

The new approval gives occupiers immediate access to large-scale, future-ready space, with delivery capable within just twelve months. Infrastructure is already in place, including the new Eldmire Lane access and extensive landscape planting to establish early maturity.

Positioned just four miles from the A1(M) and adjacent to the A19, Greenbox Thirsk is perfectly located for manufacturers and distributors seeking rapid north-south connectivity. Within 100 miles lie major urban centres including Leeds, Manchester, Hull, and York — and the local industrial ecosystem is already home to occupiers such as Severfield PLC, Inspired Pet Nutrition, Cleveland Steel & Tubes, and Cargill.

With 11,000 people employed in transport and storage and a further 34,000 in manufacturing — 5% above the UK average — the region offers a deep, skilled labour pool to support future occupiers.

Alex Reynolds, Development Director at Citivale, commented: “Securing further planning at Greenbox Thirsk marks another major step in our strategy to deliver next-generation, Net Zero logistics hubs.

This project reinforces Yorkshire’s position at the forefront of UK logistics and reflects Greenbox’s mission to shape a more sustainable, resilient supply chain through purposeful innovation.  We look forward to speaking with interested occupiers on this exciting opportunity”
