RETAIL ASSET MANAGEMENT UPDATE
Schroder Real Estate Investment Trust, the actively managed UK-focused REIT,
announces that it has completed two new lease agreements at Bedford and Milton
Keynes which improve the portfolio's defensive qualities.
St. John's Retail Park, Bedford
A lease agreement has been exchanged with TJ Morris Limited (trading as Home
Bargains) for a 14,500 sq ft store on a fifteen-year term at GBP190,000 per
annum. This space makes up the balance of the vacant former Homebase where an
agreement has already been exchanged with Lidl to lease a 21,630 sq ft store on
a fifteen-year term at GBP335,000 per annum. The lettings are subject to securing
planning consent and SREIT delivering a refurbished unit with associated
improvements to the car park and wider site at a cost of approximately GBP3.7
million.
Matalan, Milton Keynes
An agreement has been exchanged with Matalan that extends its current lease by
eight years until March 2029, at a new rent of GBP572,000 per annum. As part of
the transaction Carpetright, who currently sublet 8,500 sq ft from Matalan,
will become a direct tenant paying GBP95,000 per annum on a lease until March
2021. The new lease to Matalan is conditional on improvement works to the
roof, cladding and car park at a cost of approximately GBP1 million.
These transactions are part of an active pipeline of retail asset management
and realisations. In addition to the previously announced realisation of a
retail asset in Portsmouth for GBP1.6 million, contracts have been exchanged to
sell a retail property in Yeovil for GBP300,000 which is in line with the
independent valuation at 31 December 2018. The Company will keep the market
updated as further realisations are completed post asset management
initiatives.
