Wixams Northern Expansion Area, Bedford, Bedfordshire
Industrial & Distribution Development
Warehousing And Job Creation
Wixams is a new mixed-use community, being created three miles to the south of Bedford and represents the single largest development in Bedfordshire.
The site is centred on the former Elstow Storage Depot (once the site of the largest WWII munitions factory in the world) and is being transformed into a new community consisting of four distinct neighbourhoods providing new homes, jobs, amenities and educational facilities.
As part of the early design philosophy, future expansion areas were identified and, in parallel with the main site, a further 2.4m sq ft of warehousing in the Northern Expansion Area was provided creating over 1,200 jobs for the local community.
Single Largest Development In Bedfordshire
In total, including the expansion area, Wixams will provide 4,500 new homes, 3,000,000 sq. ft of employment and 100,000 sq.ft of retail space in addition to four primary schools, a secondary school, 300 acres of landscaped parkland, 15km of cycleways and new play facilities.
