Europa Fund III and Europa Fund IV have collectively leased 143,885 sq. feet of retail space during 2016 at UK investments in Workington, Sunderland, Ayr, Great Yarmouth, Corby and Plymouth. The new lettings were to 33 tenants, generating over £2.72 million per annum of rental income. The lessees included major international and national retailers such as B&M, Dominos, KFC, Wren Living and Matalan. There were also lease renewals on an additional 73,494 sq. feet, securing a further £0.68 million per annum.
Rob Sim, Partner and Head of Northern Europe at Europa Capital LLP, commented: “The UK retail parks and shopping centres within the Europa managed Funds continue to perform well. The assets benefit from transformative business plans which strengthen their position within the respective catchments. This has supported demand from retailers and led to rental growth which we expect to continue throughout 2017″.
