Plans for a new industrial site on three-acres of land near Maidenhead town centre offer a chance to address a ‘shortage’ of similar space in the town, two companies behind the project have said.
Pembury Real Estate and Sun Capital Partners said the site was an ‘exciting opportunity’ for the planned Reform Road logistics centre — a building used for the storage and distribution of goods.
The Advertiser reported in early 2025, that RBWM had agreed a deal to sell land in Reform Road to Pembury, then in partnership with another firm.
In a statement this week, the company said its development was expected to be ready by mid-2027.
Oliver Bycroft, of Pembury Real Estate, said the company’s project in Maidenhead was an ‘exciting opportunity’ to address a shortage of ‘high quality’ industrial space in the town.
A spokesperson for Sun Capital Partners said the Maidenhead site was in a ‘prime location’ with ‘exceptional potential’.
Pembury Real Estate specialises in buying sites for logistics and industrial developments, while Sun Capital Partners is an investment firm.
The two companies’ bid will see a 68,350 square foot warehouse building constructed, with ‘extensive’ facilities for staff.
A statement said the development would ‘target advanced manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, R&D, and film and television production, as well as traditional logistics operations’.
The companies’ statement said the site would be ‘situated close to Maidenhead town centre and within easy reach of two motorway junctions’.
It added: “The nearby Elizabeth line further enhances accessibility, offering fast and convenient connections for staff and visitors, alongside a wide range of town centre amenities.”
Mr Bycroft said: “Maidenhead has attracted a number of stellar office occupiers over the years; however, it has yet to fully realise its potential within the industrial and logistics space due to a shortage of suitable, high-quality accommodation.
“This development seeks to address that by delivering best-in-class space capable of attracting the full depth and breadth of occupiers active across the Thames Valley.
“Sun Capital Partners are hugely experienced across the investment spectrum and we are delighted to be working alongside them on this exciting opportunity.”
A spokesperson for Sun Capital Partners added: “We are delighted to be partnering with Pembury on this exciting opportunity in Maidenhead.
“The scheme represents a strong investment in a prime Thames Valley location with exceptional potential.”
A deal to sell off council-owned land in Reform Road was agreed last year, amid a need to address the Royal Borough’s deteriorating balance sheets.
Pembury Real Estate, then in partnership with investment firm Hines, was selected as the council’s preferred bidder for one plot of land in April 2025.
RBWM’s cabinet agreed a deal to sell the land to the two companies for £9million, a meeting heard that month.
Planning documents on the decision for the land showed Pembury’s early plans for the site of 67,000 square feet in size on the plot of land in Reform Road.
A statement from Pembury this week said its plans were for a ‘single, high-specification building of approximately 68,350 square feet’.
