A commercial unit is set to be marketed on the site of a former newspaper print works.
Marketed as Ketley Point, the 45,898 ft² industrial warehouse and office space will be built by Morris Property’s experienced construction team, who are renowned for delivering high-quality commercial builds throughout Telford and Shropshire. The unit will incorporate sustainable materials and energy-efficient solutions, aiming to reduce running costs and the carbon footprint for future occupants.
Liz Lowe, head of development at Morris Property, said: “We are very excited about this new scheme. The redevelopment will bring much-needed employment opportunities back to the five-acre site and continue our commitment to investment in Telford and Wrekin, creating high-quality commercial space for today’s business occupiers. We have worked closely with Telford & Wrekin Council’s Planning Department, who have proactively brought forward this application.
The project signifies a fresh chapter in the evolution of the historic Waterloo Road site where the Shropshire Star newspaper was produced for more than 50 years. The newspaper’s former owners sold the site in 2022 to Morris and Company Ltd. The development is scheduled for completion in Quarter 4 2025, with potential occupiers now being urged to secure this single opportunity if quick access to the M54 is key to their operation.
