COMMERCIAL property investor Shed5 has acquired a portfolio of industrial estates across the west of Scotland for nearly £4.4 million.
The deal includes three properties: Riverpark Industrial Estate in Linwood, 22-28 Carmyle Avenue in Cambuslang, and Whitegates Industrial Estate, close to Kirkintilloch town centre.
Riverside is the biggest of the three, and comprises 24 units across more than 150,000 square feet of commercial property.
The acquisition comes shortly after Shed5 acquired Carntyne Industrial Estate, which spans around 100,000sqft and is close to the M8 and M74 motorways, in the east end of Glasgow, for £3.5m.
Jamie Addison-Scott of Galbraith, which advised Shed5 on both deals, said: “The acquisition of this portfolio satisfies our client’s investment criteria as well as providing diversity via the location of the industrial estates. Shed5 were able to act decisively on this off-market acquisition and are eager to engage with the tenants in carrying out their asset management strategy.”
The name of the selling company was not disclosed.
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
