Tom Royston, Director, DTZ Investors, said: “We are very pleased to have successfully completed the sale of the Spire Green Centre, Harlow. The sale crystalises an exceptionally strong outcome for our client, having acquired the asset back in 2011. The sales campaign was very well received by the investment market and attracted strong investor interest. We are now actively seeking new opportunities to re-invest the sales proceeds.”

John Adcock, Equity Partner at DTRE  commented: ‘This sale demonstrates the continued healthy investor demand for multi-let industrial investments, the reversionary income stream on offer attracted very strong interest from a wide range of capital sources and allowed us to conclude the sale significantly ahead of the quoting price’.

Driven by the South East’s population growth and the continuing consumer behavioural shift towards e-commerce, the UK logistics & industrial market has witnessed burgeoning investor and occupier demand, buoyed further by the COVID-19 pandemic.
