AN occupier for the last vacant unit at Berryden Retail Park in Aberdeen has been secured by property adviser CBRE on behalf of Sports Direct owner Frasers Group.
The Food Warehouse, part of Iceland Foods Group, has taken unit 2, extending to 15,156 sq ft, at an initial rent of £250,000 per annum. The national retailer is currently fitting out and is expected to open for trade on June 13, CBRE noted.
Chris Humphrey, director of retail at CBRE Scotland, said: “It is fantastic to see Berryden Retail Park fully let for the first time in a few years. I’m sure Food Warehouse will prove to be a popular addition to the park alongside long-established tenants Home Bargains, Currys, Next and Sports Direct, who opened their flagship out-of-town store at Berryden in 2021.”
CBRE said the letting to The Food Warehouse “culminated in the investment sale of Berryden Retail Park, as part of [a] portfolio of retail parks across the UK, to Realty Income, in which CBRE also advised Frasers Group”.
Ben Barclay, of Frasers Group, said: “This was the final piece of the jigsaw in terms of available space at Berryden so we are delighted to have secured Food Warehouse on a new long-term lease and wish Realty Income all the best with the asset moving forward.”
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.
