Hitachi Train Assembly Plant
Industrial Warehousing



The 104 acre site of Merchant Park is located at Newton Aycliffe, near Durham in the north east of England.  In July 2012 the Government signed the contract for the Intercity Express Programme with Agility Trains (led by Hitachi), who now assemble and manufacture trains at the site.

The Hitachi building totals some 500,000 sq ft and produces new rolling stock for the East Coast and Great Western Main Lines creating over 700 direct new jobs and with a further 8,000 expected through the supply chain of companies servicing Hitachi. This is the largest inward investment project in the North East since the arrival of Nissan.

Merchant Park has development plots remaining, extending to 35 acres (14 hectares) with outline planning permission already in place to provide up to 900,000 sq ft (83,600 sq m) of new buildings. Merchant Place Developments has an excellent track record for delivery of industrial and commercial property for occupiers in the North East and throughout the UK.  Sustainable design and build solutions to meet occupier requirements for industrial, warehouse, office and other uses can be provided cost effectively and quickly.
