545,000 sq ft logistics building completed at Panattoni Park Swindon

Swindon24 reported on Monday 29 June 2026 that one of the largest buildings on the redeveloped Honda site in Swindon was finished. McLaren Construction handed over the 545,000 sq ft facility at Panattoni Park Swindon after 39 weeks of building work.

Honda made cars in Swindon for four decades before its factory closed in 2021.

What is the building?

It is designed for a large occupier and has high-specification warehouse space, offices, a main reception, a link bridge and welfare areas for staff.

• It achieved a BREEAM Outstanding rating.
• The builders aimed for net zero upfront embodied carbon, using recycled steel, lower-carbon concrete and extensive recycling of materials.
• Apprentices worked on the project across several trades.
• The site scored highly with the Considerate Constructors Scheme.

Luke Arnold, regional director at McLaren Construction Midlands and North, said: "Delivering Panattoni Park Swindon is a fantastic achievement and a real credit to the entire project team." Peter Carter Wall, construction director at Panattoni, called the building "a showpiece achievement".

What happens next?

With the building complete, the task was to find an occupier, which the report said could bring hundreds of jobs back to the site. The wider Panattoni Park is expected to provide several million square feet of industrial and logistics space over the coming years, in a number of units.
