Trade counters attract traffic from institutional investors

摘要

The sale completed at the start of the year of Staples Corner Business Park (pictured) and 1000 North Circular Road was a sign of the increasing attractiveness of trade counters and self-storage to institutional investors (box, right). The two fully let estates total 331,462 sq ft in 19 units across a 13.8 acre site and were sold by Orchard Street Investment Management for ￡44m, reflecting a net initial yield of 6.23%, to Standard Life Investments.
