Graham-Foxton-THUMBSIGNIFICANT DEAL

Chosen by Graham Fox, investment partner, Knight Frank

DePuy Building, Capitol Boulevard, Capitol Park, Morley, Leeds

  • Size 68,230 sq ft
  • Seller Sterling Capitol
  • Buyer Pvt institutional investor
  • Tenant DePuy International with passing rent of £4.80 per sq ft (6 years on lease)
  • Price £4.77m
  • Yield 6.25%

This is a significant deal because it graphically illustrates that the Yorkshire region continues to be popular with investors and occupiers, and underlines the fact that well-located buildings on strong leases will always prove attractive. Capitol Park is within minutes of Junction 28 of the M62, close to the heart of Yorkshire’s excellent motorway network and within five minutes of Leeds city centre. To the investor, it offers an excellent covenant strength in a superb building and room for rental growth. The out-of-town regional market, which was out of favour during the recent recession, has now returned to normality. This was also a unique opportunity in the South Leeds market, which is set to benefit from the shortage of good-quality warehousing stock in the area. It also demonstrates the continued appetite for good-quality investments and reflects the confidence in the industrial real estate sector.
