James Barrack, Founder and Chairman of Knight Property Group said: "Reaching practical completion on this property is a fantastic achievement and highlights the commitment shown by all involved on the project.

"It will provide much-needed high quality industrial space for the market in the central belt of Scotland. The next phase at Langlands Commercial Park has now been submitted for planning consent and the procurement of the scheme started in earnest."

Michael Scanlan, Director of Clark Contracts added: "It has been great to continue our relationship with the Knight Property Group team to deliver this high-quality industrial development, which has also allowed us to further demonstrate our expertise in the sector. We look forward to working with the team again in the future."

Langlands Commercial Park is located within the well-established Kelvin South and Langlands industrial areas of East Kilbride, adjacent to Sainsbury's logistics facility. The site is prominently situated with excellent frontage to the A726 Strathaven Road, linking to the town centre and Hurlawcrook Road and has excellent connectivity to Scotland's main motorway network serving central Scotland and beyond.

Alan Gilkison, Partner at letting agent Ryden said: "We applaud Knight's dedication to the speculative development of quality industrial product across Scotland. This building is already generating significant interest and we are confident of securing a suitable occupier within the next quarter."
