Amsterdam
HouthavensThe team used its strong and extensive network to identify an asset being developed in the up-and-coming Houthavens region of Amsterdam. The micro location is specifically geared towards technology companies and offered a significant discount in rents and yields to prime Amsterdam. We advised on the acquisition of a 6,800 sqm purpose-built office for c.€24m at 6% GIY and with passing rents at €225 psm compared to Amsterdam prime rents and yields at €425 psm and 4.25% GIY respectively. After completing a letting at a rent in excess of the business plan, the asset was sold to a core fund for €32m within 2 years.

London
Covent GardenThe team represented an institutional investor in its acquisition of a £32m multi let office in the bustling neighborhood of Covent Garden. The asset offered regular and easily divisible floor plates but was in need of a light touch refurbishment. The team refurbished the reception and entrance lobby and secured planning permission to extend the first floor windows to allow for increased natural light. The vacant floor was re-leased at a new headline rent for the building, providing vital evidence for further reviews and lettings. The asset was subsequently sold for £43m.

Lisbon
Value-add officeAs a direct result of our breadth of experience across Europe, the team identified Lisbon as a mis-priced city from a rental and capital value perspective compared to its European counterparts. We advised on the acquisition of a vacant possession office building in the heart of the CBD (Zone 2) for c.€22m against a backdrop of very limited supply with vacancy rates at <4%. The business plan was to refurbish the building, capture the inherent rental reversion and re-lease on a multi-let basis. The refurbishment and leasing program remained on track despite the challenges posed by Covid-19, and the asset is now earmarked for sale.

Glasgow
SupermarketIn Q1 2020 as the Covid-19 pandemic was taking hold, the team identified ‘Essential Retail’ as an investment strategy. At the time there were very few sectors which showed resilience in the face of lockdown restrictions, but supermarkets, DIY stores and other ‘essential retailers’ were able to continue trading throughout the pandemic. The team sourced two supermarket assets from a vendor who was under pressure to reduce its leverage and retail weightings. The two stores, which benefitted from a 15 year WAULT, were acquired for c.£23m reflecting 5.75% NIY, offering excellent value to investors at a time when institutions were acquiring the same product at substantially keener pricing reflecting 4.25% NIY.
