WAREHOUSE REIT ACQUIRES MILTON KEYNES MULTI LET-INDUSTRIAL ASSET MANAGEMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR £62M
-Provides 69 last mile units across 335,000 sq ft of space, in a core Oxford-Cambridge Arc location-
Warehouse REIT, the AIM-listed company that invests in e-commerce urban and last-mile industrial warehouse assets in the UK, announces that it has exchanged contracts to acquire Bradwell Abbey Industrial Estate, for £62 million excluding acquisition costs. The purchase price reflects a net initial yield of c. 4% based on day one passing / guaranteed income and continues Warehouse REIT's stated aim of acquiring assets in the Oxford-Cambridge Arc (the "Arc").
The multi-let industrial estate totals 69 units across c. 335,000 sq ft, ranging from c. 1,000 to 15,000 sq ft in size. It is located just off the A5, providing fast access to the surrounding population of Milton Keynes and the wider motorway network, with the M1 being six miles to the East. The estate is currently 96% leased to a range of occupiers including Argos, F&F Stores and Taylor Kerr Engineering Ltd and produces a total annual income (including some rental guarantees) of over £2.6 million. The low average rent of c. £7.80 psf offers good reversionary potential, considering that prime rents in the area range from £10 to £14 per psf.
