Reviewed by Joe Ashwell
First reported on The Construction Index
30 Second Briefing
Tungsten Properties has secured £19m from a UK family office and appointed Magrock Construction as main contractor for Tungsten Park Filton, a 4.55-acre industrial estate fronting the A38 near Junction 16 of the M5 and Junction 20 of the M4. The scheme will deliver five Grade A mid-box units from 10,200 sq ft to 30,000 sq ft with first-floor offices, generous yard depths and high power provision to relieve Bristol’s constrained mid-box supply. Design targets include BREEAM ‘Excellent’, EPC A, rooftop PV, EV charging, SuDS features and extensive landscaping.
Technical Brief
- Funding structure pairs Tungsten Properties with a single UK family office as equity partner.
- Site is fully self-contained over 4.55 acres, simplifying security, access control and service routing.
- Unit footprints span 947–2,787 m², suiting mid-box logistics and light industrial occupiers.
- “Generous yard depths” enable HGV turning and dock layout without off-site manoeuvring onto the A38.
- Strong power provision is being designed in anticipation of high process loads and EV charging demand.
- SuDS and extensive landscaping will require coordinated earthworks, permeability design and long-term drainage maintenance planning.
Our Take
The £19 million private-investor financing for Tungsten Park Filton sits at the smaller end of industrial estate funding in our coverage, which typically means faster execution but also tighter scrutiny on pre-lets and ESG performance to de-risk voids.
Filton’s position between Junctions 16 of the M5 and 20 of the M4 aligns with other Bristol-area logistics pieces in our database where developers have been able to command premium rents from urban logistics and e‑commerce users due to constrained land supply near the A38 corridor.
