The funding will facilitate the creation of high-quality light industrial units that address a growing demand in one of Scotland’s most popular tourist and residential areas.

The Cairngorms region has seen a significant increase in housing developments and leisure businesses in recent years. Assetz Capital’s funding will not only support local economic growth by creating jobs during the construction phase but will also provide essential infrastructure for a wide range of businesses. The industrial units have already attracted strong interest from both local and national occupiers, with several units already pre-let.

This deal was led by Geoff O’Brien, Assetz Capital’s Scotland-based relationship director, who brings deep knowledge of the Scottish market and a strong track record in regional commercial finance.

“I am very pleased to have been able to support this development and work with such an experienced team who have done an amazing job to bring this scheme to life,” said O’Brien.

“The provision of high-quality industrial units is much needed in the area, and the response from the market so far has clearly demonstrated the level of pent-up demand.”
