Sale Of Two Prime Retail Parks For £28 Million
Terrace Hill, the AIM-listed property group, announces that it has sold two
prime retail park developments to Morley Pooled Pensions Ltd for a combined
total of £28.0 million in cash. The pre-sale of Gala Water Retail Park at
Galashiels (43,500 sq ft) and the Blyth Valley Retail Park at Blyth in
Northumberland (61,000 sq ft), both which were due to be completed in the summer
of 2007, provides Terrace Hill with yields of 4.75 per cent. and 5.15 per cent
respectively.
Both parks are almost fully pre-let. Marks and Spencer plc, Next plc and New
Look are amongst the tenants at Gala Water, while a 35,000 sq ft let to Homebase
anchors Blyth Valley. Other occupiers at Blyth include Storey Carpets, Bedshed
and a KFC drive-in. It is estimated that up to 500 new and sustainable jobs
will be created at the two parks.
Managing Director Philip Leech said: 'Both Galashiels and Blyth have proved
popular locations as highlighted by the number of prestigious pre-lets secured.
The sale of these parks, ahead of completion and at yields above expectations,
further emphasises our ability to recognise lucrative opportunities, expanding
both the Terrace Hill brand and its growing reputation as a leading UK property
development and investment group.'
