Aldi acquires 3.5 acre site in north Wales from Praxis
Aldi has completed the acquisition of a 3.5 acre site at The Airfields in Deeside, north Wales, from Praxis Group.
The transaction follows planning approval for a 20,613 sq ft Aldi supermarket, a Greggs drive-through restaurant, and electric vehicle charging stations within the scheme.
The Airfields in Deeside is a major mixed-use development from Praxis, extending to over 244 acres and forming part of the Northern Gateway site in the Deeside Enterprise Zone. Located adjacent to the border with England, this gateway site provides immediate access to Junction 16 of the M56, which in turn provides access to the North West’s regional and national motorway network.
The development is currently delivering 767 homes and is also home to a 100,000 sq ft Amazon distribution hub which is now fully operational.
Praxis said: “Praxis has made a substantial investment in Deeside and over the past decade has created a thriving, forward-thinking destination that combines retail, leisure, and commercial opportunities with much-needed housing delivery.
“We’re proud to play a part in shaping the future of this major North West development.”
