Salmon Harvester fund makes Kingston lettings

  Salmon Harvester Opportunity Fund, the £150m fund formed by Salmon Harvester Properties and NFU Mutual, has let two shops in Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey, to furniture retailers Warren Evans and BoConcept. Warren Evans is to take a 5,000 sq ft shop at 2, Brook Street, at a rent of £50,000 pa on a 10-year lease. Danish furniture retailer, BoConcept, has taken a 5,400 sq ft standalone shop at 20, Eden Street, at a stepped rent rising to £67,500 pa on a 10-year lease. Matthew Meaden, fund manager at Salmon Harvester Opportunity Fund, said: “These deals come at a time when many retailers have cut back on new openings. Brook Street and Eden Street are good retailing areas and we are delighted to have signed up Warren Evans and BoConcept.” Salmon Harvester Opportunity Fund acquired Surrey House and Lever House, a 165,000 sq ft mixed use investment in the centre of Kingston Upon Thames, for £20.45m last year.   annabel.dixon@estatesgazette.com
