Lothbury Investment Management Limited, on behalf of Lothbury Property Trust,
(LPT) has completed on a sale to British Land of Blackwater Shopping Park in
Farnborough for £38 million.
The Park, which had been owned by LPT since 2014, comprises 118,164 sq ft across 12
units including a standalone McDonald’s drive-thru and a Costa Pod. The property has
forecourt car parking provision for 609 cars.
Tenants include Next, TK Maxx, Boots, Outfit, Homesense, Mamas & Papas and
Currys/PC World.
During its ownership, Lothbury had extended the park by constructing an additional 8,000
sqft retail unit in 2020. This project was LPT’s first Net Zero Carbon in Construction
project, offsetting 756 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). The unit which also
achieved a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ certification was pre-let to Halfords.
Ed Hockley, Director at Lothbury Investment Management, said: “A sale of Blackwater
Shopping Park conforms with the Lothbury Property Trust strategy to reduce the
portfolio’s exposure to the retail sector. The proceeds of the sale have been allocated to
some key sustainable developments ongoing within the Fund in the life sciences and
industrial sectors.’
