Serviced plots and D&B opportunities beside J4 of the M8 — large-scale logistics ready.
Immediate access to M8 at Junction 4
J4M8 Distribution Park is a large, strategically placed logistics and distribution location with immediate access to the M8 at Junction 4. The masterplan offers serviced plots and completed buildings suitable for storage, distribution and light industrial uses, with design-and-build or plot sale options. Major occupiers already on the park (Aldi, Amazon, GXO, Schuh) demonstrate operational scale and market demand.
Planning capacity and connectivity are the main strengths: 185,000 sq m consented for Class 6, 110,000 sq m already developed, plus a further 75,000 sq m with planning permission in principle. There is also permission in principle for 18,550 sq m of Class 4 business space. Site services include mains water, drainage, gas and power; landscaped surrounds, tree-lined roads and water-management swales improve the working environment.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. Broadband speeds on site are reported as very slow, which may affect certain occupiers; mobile signal is excellent. The wider area records high levels of deprivation, which can influence local labour markets and stakeholder perceptions. Flood risk is low. Grants or funding may be available for qualifying occupiers or developments.
This opportunity suits investors or occupiers seeking scale, motorway-facing visibility and rapid access to Scotland’s transport network (close to Edinburgh and Glasgow airports, plus nearby ports). The site is best for businesses that prioritise road connectivity and large-format warehousing rather than office-led or digitally intensive occupiers unless connectivity is upgraded.
