CLS Holdings plc
("CLS", the "Group", the "Company")
announces the acquisition of 9 Prescot Street, London E1
CLS announces that it has exchanged contracts to acquire 9
Prescot Street, London E1 for GBP53.85 million excluding costs.
The freehold property comprises 96,948 sq ft (9,007 sqm) of
multi-let office space over seven floors and is 100% let to four
tenants with a weighted average unexpired lease term of 2 years to
breaks. It is located on the fringe of the City in the Aldgate
area, which continues to undergo significant regeneration,
including the new Chinese Embassy at the former Royal Mint site,
and is close to multiple key transport links including Fenchurch
Street, Tower Hill, Aldgate East and Shadwell stations.
The property, which is being acquired at a capital value of
GBP555 per sq. ft. and a net initial yield of 4.5%, has substantial
reversionary rental upside to deliver an estimated yield
approaching 8% through active asset management. Current contracted
rental income of GBP2.56 million equates to GBP26.41 per sq ft and
CLS intends to undertake a substantial refurbishment to deliver
high-quality space in an improving area with limited supply.
CLS intends to finance the acquisition through existing
resources and bank financing.
Fredrik Widlund, Chief Executive Officer of CLS, commented:
"This acquisition is a clear demonstration of our ability to
undertake transactions on an opportunistic basis where we can
utilise our asset management expertise to deliver value over the
long term in line with our strategy. The property's excellent
location and attractive potential makes this an exciting
acquisition for CLS."
