selp EXCHANGES ON purchase OF
TRITAX EUROBOX ASSETS
Further to its announcement on 12
November 2024, SEGRO, in its role as venture adviser to the SEGRO
European Logistics Partnership ("SELP") joint venture, today
announces that SELP has exchanged on the purchase of a portfolio of
six assets from Titanium Ruth Holdco Limited (formerly known as
Tritax EuroBox plc). The transaction values 100% of the assets at
€470 million, including relevant property taxes and subject to
customary adjustments.
The portfolio totals 370,000 sq m of
fully-leased, highly reversionary, modern logistics space. The
assets are located in the established and attractive logistics hubs
of Breda and Roosendaal in the Netherlands as well as in the
Frankfurt corridor and the Rhine-Ruhr region in Germany. The assets
currently generate approximately €24 million of headline rent,
resulting in a blended net initial yield of 5.0 per cent and a net
true equivalent yield of 5.4 per cent.
The transaction is conditional on
European Union anti-trust clearance, which is expected in the first
quarter of 2025.
David Sleath, CEO of
SEGRO, said:
"We are delighted to have
reached an agreement to purchase this portfolio of high-quality big
box warehouses, located in some of Europe's most attractive
logistics hubs. They will complement SELP's existing German and
Dutch portfolios, offering both future rental growth potential and
the ability to enhance returns through the benefits of increased
scale."

About SELP
The SEGRO European Logistics
Partnership (SELP) was created in October 2013 as a 50:50 joint
venture between SEGRO and PSP Investments, the Canadian pension
fund. At its inception, the portfolio injected by SEGRO comprised
approximately €1 billion of grade A standing logistics investments
and development land. The objective of the venture was to create a
leading Continental European logistics platform, initially focused
on six geographies, namely France, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic,
Belgium and Netherlands.
Since then, SELP has also invested
in big box warehouses in Italy and Spain and a combination of
acquisitions, development and capital value growth means that, at
31 December 2023, the portfolio was valued at €6.7 billion and
generated €342 million of annualised headline rent across 5.8
million square metres of lettable area.
SEGRO acts as asset, property and
development manager for SELP.
