Warehouse Disposal
Following Active Management
Picton has completed the disposal of a distribution warehouse in
Lutterworth, Leicestershire for £15.9 million.
3220 Magna Park, is a 160,000 sq ft detached building
constructed in 1989 and let to DHL. During the summer, Picton
restructured the lease and secured a further three years term
certain until a tenant break option in December 2022. As part of the same transaction,
the December 2019 rent review was
settled securing a 11% uplift to £1 million per annum, achieving
one of the highest rents at the Park.
The sale price reflects a net initial yield of 5.8% and 4%
uplift to the independent September
2019 valuation.
Michael Morris, Chief
Executive of Picton, commented: “The disposal crystallises the
upside created from this asset management initiative during the
summer. The proceeds will be recycled in the short term to
repay our revolving credit facilities and provide further funding
for planned asset enhancement projects”.
