Maybrook Industrial Park, Leeds acquired for £5.195m

Aug. 8, 2012 - PRLog -- In one of the largest multi-let industrial investment transactions in Leeds in recent years, Avon Capital Estates has acquired Maybrook Industrial Park from BNP Paribas Real Estate Investment Management.  The 10,267 sq m (110,415 sq ft) site was purchased for £5.195m, reflecting a net initial yield of 8.9%.

The park is situated on Castleton Road just off the A647 and 1 mile from Leeds City Centre.  It comprises two back to back terraces totalling 12 units and a single detached industrial unit, built in the 1980s.  Tenants include Brake Bros, Just Car Clinics, Clear Channel UK and HWL Trade Frames.

Matthew Edwards, investment partner at Ryden, who represented the purchaser said: “Maybrook Industrial Park continues Avon Capital Estates expansion in the North and offers tenants a quality product and good value for money.”

Henry Shearer of BNP Paribas Real Estate Investment Management commented: “Following acquisition of the estate in 2009, we have implemented our asset management strategy, extending the lease with the largest tenant on the estate. This asset has delivered a strong performance over the hold period and the sale enables us to reinvest in new opportunities.”    

Graham Foxton, senior surveyor at BNP Paribas Real Estate, who acted on behalf of the vendor added: “We are pleased to have achieved a yield of less than 9% for this sale which emphasises investor demand in Leeds and reflects well against other regional cities.”

BNP Paribas Real Estate Investment Management Ltd was represented by BNP Paribas Real Estate Ltd whilst Ryden acted on behalf of Avon Capital Estates.
