Tony Nash, director at Stoford Developments, felt that this was a landmark development for north London and Icon Industrial.

“It presents potential occupiers with an excellent opportunity to secure a striking new warehouse/logistics development that will offer exceptional quality in a premier business location.

“The connectivity Icon Harlow offers future occupiers – to both Greater London and the South East – makes it a hugely significant site being just 15 minutes from junction 27 of the M25.”

Icon Harlow is situated 30 miles north of central London and in close proximity to London Stansted airport.
