œ40m factory for Laing


John Laing is to undertake the design and construction of a œ40 million factory outlet centre near Ashford International Railway Station in Kent.

The contractor has agreed terms with developer BAA/McArthur Glen for a 19,509m2 factory outlet centre at the Kimberley Works site adjacent to the railway station. Laing will obtain planning consent, work up the design and construct the scheme.

Consent already exists for 27,870m2 of retail space, but a revised planning application will be submitted in September. Laing sold the land to BAA/McArthur Glen for œ10.8 million. Laing owns a further 38ha of development land around the station jointly with British Rail.
