A Trafford Park industrial scheme has been sold for just short of £5m as investors – and occupiers – take advantage of the surge in shed values.
B8 Real Estate, acting on behalf of Aviva Investors, have sold a three-unit 64,924 sq ft multi-let industrial estate situated in a prominent location adjacent to the Parkway Circle roundabout in Trafford Park.
The property was purchased by The Schroders MLIPUT for £4,968,000, reflecting a net initial yield of 6.24%.
John Burrows of B8 Real Estate commented, ”We are pleased with the extremely strong level of interest generated, resulting in a host of bids being received for the property.
“The strength of the offers submitted highlights continued investor demand for prime assets against a supply shortage of good quality industrial properties.”
Schroders MLIPUT were represented by Cushman & Wakefield.
