West Retail Park, within the Birkenshaw Trading Estate, is the company’s second investment into the retail warehouse market this year following the purchase of Colchester Retail Park in March.

“West Retail Park is well located and popular with consumers. The investment provides a healthy yield in a resilient sector with the opportunity for rental growth.”

The agreed sale price of £6,450,000 reflects a stabilised net income yield of 7.4%
