Prologis to add 1 million sq ft to DIRFT

[ March 10, 2026   //   Chris Lewis ]

Prologis UK has submitted proposals for DC762, a new 762,000 sq ft rail-served distribution centre at Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT). It is one of three expansion plots at DIRFT, which together total 1,063,000 sq ft. Two further units, measuring 158,000 sq ft and 265,000 sq ft respectively, are planned for submission in the coming weeks.

DC762 will deliver an 18m clear internal height and the cross-docked building will include 114 dock doors and 11 level access doors on east and west elevations. 

The building will target BREEAM Outstanding and EPC A+ ratings and feature a 700kWp rooftop solar PV system.

Over the past six months, DIRFT has secured a series of major commitments, including M&S Food’s 1.3 million sq ft national distribution centre and XPO’s national chilled palletised logistics hub for Arla Foods. E-commerce homeware brand Laura James recently confirmed a 217,785 sq ft build-to-suit facility at the estate.
