Blackwater Retail Park, Maldon

Aquila Developments Ltd

Originally on the site of the existing Maldon East railway station and previously part of a local timber yard is the new 80,000sq ft. Blackwater Retail Park.

AWA have been working on this retail park with developer Aquila during which we have provided M&E design for the new retail space and landlords areas.

Projects AWA have provided on the site have included master planning services infrastructure and utilities design, diversions, new incoming utilities connections and developer shell specification, design of the landlord’s areas for the eight shopping units along with the new carpark lighting to the retail park plus the design of the new on site security facilities for the retail park and neighbouring industrial park.

The new site required 2No. New Electrical Substations to serve the retail units and maintain the capacity of the network.

The developer has now received planning permission and will now start the design of a new 60 bed hotel with a café on the ground floor, to be built on the same site as the new retail park.
