LondonMetric Property has bought ten single let properties for 拢55m (鈧�62.6m) from the ACT Foundation.
The listed real estate investment trust said the portfolio consists of nine urban logistics assets totalling 340,000sqft and a retail store let to home improvement retailer Wickes for a further 14 years.
LondonMetric said about 50% of the assets are located in London and the South East with a further 35% located in the Midlands.
Andrew Jones, the chief executive of LondonMetric, said: 鈥淔ollowing the recent disposal of six non-core distribution assets for 拢36m, we are pleased to have re-allocated the proceeds into a much stronger and better-located portfolio within such a quick timescale.
鈥淭he portfolio is fully income generating, offers good opportunities to capture strong income growth and increases our urban logistics portfolio to approximately 拢400m.鈥�
