Panattoni has signed a ten-year lease with Visual Comfort & Co. for a unit at Panattoni Park Brighton, expanding the tenant’s distribution capacity in the UK and Europe.
The leased space totals approximately 49,270 sq ft, including around 43,000 sq ft of warehouse accommodation and over 6,000 sq ft of office space. The facility forms part of the logistics scheme located on Cecil Pashley Way, next to Brighton City Airport, with direct access to the A27 and regional connections to the south coast and wider motorway network.
The unit has been designed to meet modern logistics requirements, featuring a 10-metre internal height, multiple access points and dedicated yard space. Sustainability features include rooftop solar panels, rainwater harvesting and energy-efficient lighting. The building holds a BREEAM “Excellent” rating and an EPC “A” certification.
Visual Comfort & Co., headquartered in Worthing, supplies decorative and architectural lighting products across residential, hospitality and commercial sectors. The new facility is intended to support the company’s distribution network, serving retail partners, trade customers and online channels.
Darryll Bandtock, Managing Director at Visual Comfort & Co., said: “Securing this new facility at Panattoni Park Brighton marks an important step in the continued growth of Visual Comfort & Co.’s UK and European distribution operations. The location provides excellent connectivity across the south coast and beyond, allowing us to serve our network of retail partners, designers, and trade customers more efficiently. The quality and sustainability credentials of the building were also key considerations for us, and the space gives us the flexibility and capacity we need to support our expanding customer base and future growth.”
Panattoni Park Brighton comprises seven units in total, with five still available, ranging in size from approximately 19,700 sq ft to 55,400 sq ft.
David McGougan, Senior Development Director for the South East at Panattoni, added: “We are delighted to welcome Visual Comfort & Co. to Panattoni Park Brighton. This letting demonstrates exactly what we set out to achieve when we brought this scheme forward. That is, high-quality, sustainable space in a location that genuinely works for occupiers, with strong connectivity, a deep labour pool and direct access to the wealthy consumer markets of the south coast. The Brighton market has historically been severely undersupplied with Grade-A logistics accommodation, and we are confident that the remaining units will attract similar interest from occupiers looking to establish or expand their presence in this growing region.”
