Winstanley Enterprises Acquires 135-acre Shovel-Ready Distribution Site

Metro Park North

Enfield, CT – Winstanley Enterprises LLC has acquired a 135-acre parcel of land known as Metro Park North, located at 1679 King Street in Enfield. The shovel-ready parcel, situated at the intersection of Route 5 and Corporate Road, has received all necessary state and local approvals to support development. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Representatives of Winstanley Enterprises say they are confident that as the warehouse and distribution sector continues to thrive, businesses looking to quickly fulfill their distribution needs in the marketplace and to expand or establish their presence will be attracted to this shovel-ready site.

“This property boasts unlimited potential and enables companies to hit the ground running in a very short time,” said Adam Winstanley, principal of Winstanley Enterprises. “Traditionally, it’s months or years before a company can secure permitting to break ground on a development, but this fully entitled site offers prospective tenants expedited speed-to-market potential, building customization input, and it’s a great location.”

Metro Park North has received approvals for over 600,000sf of development including a 500,225sf distribution facility as well as a 100,125sf flex building which is predominantly warehouse space and incorporates office space needs. The site also has been approved for vehicle and trailer parking as well as cross-dock trailer spaces.

The property’s location offers access to I-91 via two exits, is approximately nine minutes to Bradley International Airport, and is approximately 12 minutes to Hartford and Springfield.

Winstanley Enterprises will immediately begin to market the property to prospective tenants. Upon securing tenant interest, construction is anticipated to commence in early to mid-2024.
