The acquisitions comprise two multi-tenant light industrial assets and five single-tenant warehouses with a total floor area of 465,000 square feet. The assets are located in key regional markets across the UK with strong underlying fundamentals including Manchester, Coventry, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Basildon.
