Hammerson dismette l’”Abbotsinch Retail Park” presso Glasgow

  (  30  settembre  2019)

Hammerson plc has exchanged contracts for the sale of Abbotsinch Retail Park, Paisley to Ashby Capital for £67m. The sale price represents a net initial yield of 7.8% and is 3% below book value as at 30 June 2019.Covering 24,600m2 of floor space, Abbotsinch is conveniently located 5 miles west of Glasgow and is fully let to a high quality line up of brands including an anchor B&Q, Dunelm, Tapi and Natuzzi.

Hammerson acquired the site in 2012 for £42m and has added over 8,700m2 of retail floor space since then through phased developments, at a cost of £17m. This expansion brought eight new brands onto the scheme, increasing the tenant line up from 6 to 14, and cemented Abbotsinch’s position as the leading furniture and homeware retail park in Scotland. As a result of these works, the average rent per square foot rose from £17.78 in 2012 to £20.95 in 2019.

Together with the sale of a major stake in its Italie Deux flagship destination in Paris for £423m in July, and additional retail park disposals, this transaction means that Hammerson has now exceeded its minimum disposal target, of in excess of £500m in the year, having achieved £523m of sales in total.
