Woodbourne Group unveils plans for self-storage pipeline
Woodbourne Group is pleased to announce plans to deliver a new premium self-storage pipeline across the UK, beginning with a major multi-million-pound redevelopment in the West Midlands. The first site will be delivered at Pedmore Road, Brierley Hill, Dudley, marking Woodbourne Group’s entry into the fast-growing self-storage sector.
The Group will lead the transformation of a 1.03-acre site by repurposing an existing 31,750 sq ft industrial building into a high-quality 50,000 sq ft self-storage facility.
The scheme will deliver:
- Full recladding and reroofing
- Reconfigured entrances optimised for modern self-storage operations
- A revitalised building frontage
- Investment into a long-established industrial district
- New employment opportunities for the local area
Situated on the A4036, the location is directly south of the Level Street/Hurst Lane junction, benefiting from exceptional visibility and a traffic count of over 50,000 vehicles daily.
The Woodbourne Group Self-Storage Pipeline
The site sits within one of the region’s most established industrial corridors, with strong connectivity to neighbouring estates including Sterling Park, Enterprise Trading Estate, Peartree Lane, Narrowboat Way, and Navigation Drive.
Its immediate proximity to Merry Hill Shopping Centre — one of greater Birmingham’s principal retail and leisure destinations — further enhances the commercial potential of the development.
The building is currently used for the production of butt-weld pipe fittings and will be fully reconfigured to meet the requirements of a modern, customer-focused self-storage facility.
Tani Dulay, CEO of Woodbourne Group, said:
“We are pleased to have secured planning permission for a premium self-storage facility in Brierley Hill, marking our entry into the self-storage sector. This project represents the first step in our wider strategy to deliver a pipeline of high-quality storage facilities across the UK.”
Cushman & Wakefield is advising Woodbourne Group as it brings forward its self-storage pipeline. Steffan Morgan, Associate Partner at Cushman & Wakefield, added:
“The consented scheme provides an excellent opportunity to develop the property into a self-storage facility. Conversion opportunities in prominent locations are highly sought after in the undersupplied self-storage market and help deliver much-needed volume.”
The UK self-storage sector continues to experience strong demand, with limited new supply in key locations. Woodbourne Group’s strategic entry into the market builds on its track record of delivering impactful, regeneration-focused developments across the West Midlands.
This first project at Pedmore Road signals the beginning of a national pipeline designed to meet growing customer needs while bringing investment and modern commercial floorspace to key regional locations.
