EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
An opportunity to acquire a prime office investment pre-let to an occupier who boasts group revenue in excess of €20bn.
The building is scheduled to undergo a substantial refurbishment to provide a Grade A office fully repositioned for the future. The building extends over ground and two upper floors with a full height central atrium entrance.
Originally built in 1989, the building commands a strong position on the park, close to the amenity offering, and boasts 416 car parking spaces reflecting a superb ratio of 1:191 sq. ft.
TUI Travel Limited have signed an agreement for lease to commence once the refurbishment has completed. This FR&I lease is for a term of 15 years with a fixed rental uplift at the end of year 5 (equivalent to 2% pa compounded growth) and an Open Market Rent Review after year 10. This agreement was based upon the IPMS-3 floor areas with 50% of the reception area rentalised.
Offers sought in the region of £29,095,000, subject to contract and exclusive of VAT on either:
1. a forward commitment to purchase the investment upon practical completion of the refurbishment works.
2. a full forward funding basis.
A purchase at this level reflects a net initial yield of 7.50% increasing to 8.41% by way of a fixed rental uplift in 5 years’ time.
Yields are quoted net of purchaser’s costs at 6.8% although we envisage savings can be achieved via an appropriate funding structure.
