TERRACE HILL GROUP PLC ('Terrace Hill')
Trading Update
New financial year starts with early activity
Terrace Hill announces the acquisition of a site at Filton, Bristol and
development land in Scotland.
At Filton in Bristol, Terrace Hill announces that it has exchanged contracts to
acquire a 2.6 acre site on which it plans to develop 42,000 sq ft of small
offices with a view to freehold sales with a completed value in excess of £10
million. The development is planned to be carried out in two phases with start
on site of the first phase of nine buildings early in the New Year.
Philip Leech, Managing Director, commented 'The North Bristol office market for
small units is seeing good demand, and there are no other similar schemes in the
vicinity. This latest acquisition takes our expanding development programme to
around £650 million including joint venture projects. We believe that this will
be a powerful engine for Terrace Hill's significant continuing growth in triple
net asset value.'
Terrace Hill has also added to its landbank for future residential development
in Scotland, with the acquisition of further land in West Lothian, extending to
around six acres. It has also submitted a planning application for the
development of 174 detached houses at one of its sites at Torbothie Road,
Shotts, Lanarkshire on which it is hoped to start development in 2006.
Robert Adair, Chairman commented 'We are making important progress in expanding
our residential development activities in Scotland: currently we have, alone and
in joint venture, sites with potential for around 1,100 new homes. I believe
this will make a very material contribution towards our future growth'.
