Entering 2026 with strong momentum across our growth drivers
Additional ÂĢ14.2 million p.a. of contracted rent secured through active management
ÂĢ8.9 million p.a. of additional rent under offer from logistics development pipeline
Negotiating terms on data-centre pre-let at Manor Farm, Heathrow
Â
22 January 2026, Tritax Big Box REIT plc ("Tritax Big Box" or "the Company") provides an update on its operational performance for the financial year ended 31 December 2025.
Â
Colin Godfrey, CEO for Tritax Big Box, commented:
"2025 has been a transformational year for Tritax Big Box as we continue to make excellent progress in support of our three growth drivers. We are driving rental income growth through our asset management activities and have a strengthening pipeline of development letting opportunities. Our data-centre pipeline has moved forward meaningfully, with pre-letting negotiations now underway on our first data centre development at Manor Farm, Heathrow, reflecting strong occupier demand for well-located, power-enabled sites. In support of our strategy, we have been very effective in rotating capital into higher returning opportunities, having now sold over ÂĢ800 million of assets over the past three years.
Â
"With strong occupational interest across both logistics and data centres, the successful integration of recent acquisitions, and clear structural tailwinds supporting our portfolio, we enter 2026 well positioned to deliver on our ambition to grow adjusted earnings by 50% by the end of 2030."
Â
Active management - secured a ÂĢ14.2 million increase in contracted rent from asset management activity

o Negotiating terms with leading operator tenant on powered shell pre-let.

Recycling capital - ÂĢ415.5 million of disposals including further ÂĢ266.6 million of non-strategic UKCM assets
We have made good progress on UKCM non-strategic asset disposals in the year and have continued our ongoing capital recycling programme:
