Lothbury Investment Management Limited, on behalf of Lothbury Property Trust, has sold its mixed residential and retail unit at 14/15 East Street, Chichester.
The listed Georgian property is currently let to Clintons, as well as an independent hairdresser, a Pilates studio and a residential flat. East Street is a popular, historic pedestrianised street, which is in a conservation area and considered the prime retailing pitch within Chichester’s city centre.
The purchaser was a locally based private property company.
Ed Hockley, director at Lothbury Investment Management, said: “This asset has been in our portfolio since 2013. With the current challenges within high street retailing, the Fund’s strategy is to rebalance the portfolio away from retail and to reinvest in our target sectors, through selective purchasing and funding our own development pipeline to create modern developments with market leading ESG credentials.”
Flude Commercial and Travers Smith represented Lothbury.
