Penn Commercial is celebrating being named joint winner of CoStar’s Q1 2026 ‘Quarterly Deals Award’ in the East of England, in recognition of the letting of Unit 5 at Ipswich’s Access @ Eastern Gateway, comprising 4,090 sq m (44,022 sq ft) of high-quality warehouse / logistics space to Cargo Move, acting for developer Hillwood UK.
Penn Commercial is partnering with national agents, Lambert Smith Hampton and Savills, on Hillwood UK’s popular Access @ Eastern Gateway scheme, located close to the A14 on Ipswich’s Sproughton Road.
Most recently, Hillwood UK sold Units 6a and 6b at the site, totalling 1,198 sq m (12,897 sq ft) and 1,694 sq m (18,233 sq ft) respectively, to a local investor.
This means that only ONE FINAL unit remains on the convenient commercial site – Unit 4, comprising 4,877 sq m (52,491 sq ft). The unit is best-in-class, and is the only brand-new unit that is available for immediate occupation in Ipswich and the surrounding area.
Occupiers already on the estate include Amazon, La Doria, MKM, Headlam and VW.
The CoStar Awards Quarterly Deals winners are determined by the top deals executed every quarter, based on price and square footage.
CoStar Group, Inc. – the leading provider of commercial real estate information, analytics and online marketplaces – says:
"We're delighted to recognise the achievements of our award winners, and to celebrate their hard work and dedication in the commercial property industry."
Access @ Eastern Gateway is Ipswich’s premier industrial and logistics site, strategically located adjacent to Junction 54 of the A14 and approximately two miles west of Ipswich town centre, as well as being convenient for Sizewell C. The scheme provides a total of 14,937 sq m (160,782 sq ft) of new build accommodation for Ipswich, which has been built to the highest specification, including having achieved BREEAM ‘Excellent’ certification and EPC ‘A’.
