Strutt & Parker head of industrial and logistics James Fairweather said: “Well-let distribution facilities on good covenants have become a staple demand for investors.

“Mendlesham Industrial Estate’s strong fundamentals combined with a long unexpired lease term and guaranteed rental uplifts, made it an attractive addition to CCLA’s portfolio.”
