Another lease renewal at Burton upon Trent

25 Jan 2023

The Fund has recently completed a new five year lease to Waterstones Booksellers at Burton upon Trent. CPF acquired the property in Q1 2011 when there was over six years unexpired on the lease.  Since then we have renewed the lease to the tenant twice, increasing the rent by 23% since acquisition.  To date, over the course of our hold period, this asset has delivered £10 million in income.  The property is home to Waterstones only fulfilment centre, servicing both their online platform and physical store portfolio.
