("Picton" or the "Company")
PICTON ADDS TO HOLDING AT ANGOULEME WAY RETAIL PARK, BURY
Picton, the property investment company, has completed the acquisition of the
long leasehold interest in two retail warehouse units located immediately
adjacent to its existing holding at Angouleme Way Retail Park, Bury. The £3.9
million purchase price reflects a net initial yield of 7.9%.
The 96-year leasehold interest comprises two units totalling 29,609 sq ft which
are currently let to Argos and Poundstretcher for a further four years and
generate a combined net income of £323,750 pa. The two units are located
directly opposite the A58 arterial road and The Rock shopping and leisure
scheme.
Michael Morris, Chief Executive, commented: "This is the first acquisition to
complete, of several we have under consideration, since our recent fundraising.
It also marks the consolidation of our ownership in Bury, where we now control
all five units and expect to unlock further value through asset management
initiatives."
