HENRY BOOT AND BARNFIELD GROUP COMPLETES GBP30M SALE OF
PRESTON
LOGISTICS SCHEME
Henry Boot PLC announces that its property investment and
development business, HBD, alongside Barnfield Group, completed the
sale of EAST, a 223,000 sq ft logistics scheme in Preston. Sold to
Titan Investors at the end of 2022 in a circa GBP30m transaction,
the sale price represents a 10% premium to the last reported book
value.
Holding a prime location along the M6's key distribution
corridor on the outskirts of the Lancashire city of Preston, the
18-acre site includes three fully let buildings alongside a final
development plot with consent for a 30,000 sq ft warehouse that
will be delivered directly by Titan.
This disposal follows recent pre-lets at EAST with DHL and DPD,
taking 63,000 sq ft and 59,000 sq ft respectively, with an overall
scheme WAULT of 16 years. The first phase of the scheme was
delivered in December 2021.
Tim Roberts, CEO of Henry Boot PLC, commented: "EAST is yet
another hugely successful industrial and logistics scheme delivered
by the Group - it has drawn strong interest from potential
occupiers since development began on site, demonstrating the
continued demand for high-quality Grade A industrial and logistics
space in key locations. Having secured deals with both DPD and DHL,
and on the back of a very successful first phase, EAST represented
an excellent investment prospect for Titan Investors."
Tracy Clavell-Bate, Head of Development and Acquisitions at
Barnfield Group , said: "We knew when the 18-acre site came to the
market that it would be in great demand. It has been a very
rewarding project to work on from concept master planning,
construction, lettings and completing the sale and all within 3
years."
