The two retail warehousing units amount to a combined 6,889 m² of space. F&C REIT’s Felixtowe Road retail warehouse unit in Ipswich was exchanged for £9.886 million at a yield of 5.82%. The property consists of 3,141 m² and is adjacent to a large Sainsbury’s supermarket. The site has been let to Homebase for a further 12 years at £18 per ft² equating to £608,490 per annum.
Ian McBryde, Director, Property Funds at F&C REIT, said of the acquisitions: “The deal shows that in this market good quality stock with long-term prospects can be bought at an economical price. The two retail warehouses represent a solid investment with a competitive yield and with an established, successful brand that we are continuing to grow our already strong relationship with.”
