Just the facts
Upon purchase the former B&Q unit was in the midst of redevelopment to be split into several units. We monitored the redevelopment and secured lettings to Sainsbury’s, Poundland, Pets at Home, DW Sports, Costa and Pure Gym at rents up to £32.50 per sq ft. We successfully widened the retailer and leisure offer to drive customer footfall and dwell time.
The park was sold fully let with an average weighted lease term of 10.9 years to Pramerica in January 2016 for £67m, representing a net initial yield of 4.99%.
As part of the B&Q redevelopment planning was secured for four houses at the rear of the service yard and the site was sold separately to a local house builder thus maximising returns.
