Frogmore purchased the scheme in April 2015, at a time when the development was 50 per cent vacant. At the point of its sale, the park was fully let.
“Having seen the opportunity to reposition West One from a fashion retail park to a discount retail park, we attracted big name retailers. Bringing in complimentary businesses, including Pure Gym, a dentist practice and a chiropractic service brought the park to full occupancy,” explains John Matthews, Senior Asset Manager.
“We were delighted to have worked with M7 on this transaction, which is the 5th disposal within Frogmore’s Fund III,” adds Tim Allibone, Director of Asset Management. “Having met all the milestone objectives of the Business Plan, it was the right time to realise this asset.”
