Warehouse REIT PLC - real estate investment trust focused on warehouse assets - Acquires Granby Industrial Estate in Milton Keynes, comprising 24 urban logistics and trade units for GBP17.5 million with net initial yield of 5.7%. The estate is 10 acres and offers 147,000 square feet of gross lettable area which is let to 16 tenants, across 19 of the 24 units.
"This acquisition is a strong fit with the company's strategy of buying in strong economically relevant locations with asset management opportunities; it offers both long-dated day one income whilst an element of vacancy, shorter leases and un-refurbished units provide the chance to capture the reversionary potential and significantly improve the rental profile," says Andrew Bird, managing director of Tilstone Partners, Warehouse REIT's investment advisor.
