Forsters continues to support Space Industrial with further acquisitions across the UK
Forsters’ Commercial Real Estate team has continued its work with the Space Industrial platform, the joint venture between Invesco Real Estate and Marchmont Investment Management, advising on the acquisition and financing of a further three industrial and logistics assets across key regional markets in the UK.
The latest sites comprise:
- Crompton Fields, Crawley – the estate is located near Gatwick Airport and comprises 6 units of in total approximately 100,000 sq ft, let to five tenants, with one unit currently vacant.
- Malago Trade Park, Bristol– 7-unit trade counter estate in Bristol.
- Thwaites Farm Industrial Estate, Leeds – a prime urban logistics estate strategically located in Leeds, just 3 miles from the city centre and in close proximity to M1 Junction 44 and M621 Junction 7.
These acquisitions build on the platform’s strategy to acquire and reposition multi-let industrial assets with strong ESG potential and value-add opportunities. The continued expansion reflects the platform’s confidence in the UK’s multi-let industrial market and its commitment to delivering long-term, sustainable returns.
Forsters’ role has encompassed all commercial real estate aspects of the transactions, including title and tenancy due diligence, negotiation of contractual documentation, and coordination with tax, planning, and construction specialists. The banking team have advised on all aspects of their portfolio financing of these properties and the teams continue to work closely with Jersey trust advisors to support the platform’s growth.
Cam Fraser CIO of Marchmont commented as follows:
“Space Industrial has maintained strong momentum in the UK MLI market, securing seven deals in the past seven months. With ongoing support from Forsters, we remain focused on expanding the platform and are optimistic about a successful second half of 2025.”
Andrew Crabbie continues to lead the project team with support from Alexandra Townsend Wheeler and Alexandra Ringrose, with banking advice provided by Rowena Marshall with support from Mark Berry.
