Wright, Johnston & Mackenzie LLP is delighted to have supported Northern Irish firm Lotus Property in the acquisition of a 1.3 million sq ft portfolio in Scotland valued at £60m.
The portfolio consists of 45 properties, predominantly in Dundee and includes Marketgait/West Marketgait and Wester Gourdie Industrial Estate, as well as a variety of mixed use retail, leisure and residential assets. Tenants include Travelodge, Pure Gym, Grosvenor Casinos, Tesco Stores, Hermes Parcelnet, Encon Insulation, UPS and Buckler Boots. To help deliver the deal, which was valued at £60million, WJM assembled a team headed by Colin Brass, Joanne Ockrim and Colin Millar. Together, the team provided corporate and property advice to Lotus Property.
Colin Brass, WJM Chairman said “As longstanding clients of Lotus Property we were delighted to be involved in such a significant investment into the Scottish property market. Dundee as a city has undergone a great deal of regeneration in recent years and this particular deal is further evidence of its growth - presenting an exciting opportunity for our clients”.
Alastair Coulson, Managing Director of Lotus Property said “This was a complicated deal involving various dimensions and we were very pleased with the seamless way the team at WJM co-ordinated their calm and pragmatic advice to us to meet a challenging deadline”.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
