TERRACE HILL SELLS KEAN HOUSE, COVENT GARDEN
Terrace Hill Group plc (AIM: THG), a leading UK property development and
investment group, announces that it has sold the freehold interest in its Kean
House development in Covent Garden, London to a major UK institution for a total
consideration of GBP16 million, representing a net initial yield of 6.4%.
Situated on the eastern boundary of Covent Garden and close to Holborn tube
station, 6 Kean Street comprises a 26,000 sq ft prime Grade A comprehensive
office refurbishment arranged over a basement and nine upper-storeys, together
with two retail units fronting Kingsway. Completed by Terrace Hill in November
2007, the property is multi-let to a number of strong tenants, including Barrow
Cadbury Trust and Virgin Green Fund (VGF Advisors UK LLP). The retail units are
occupied by Costa Coffee and Adecco.
The sale follows the recent re-letting of the entire fifth floor of the
building, comprising 2,993 sq ft (NIA), to ChannelAdvisor, having simultaneously
negotiated the surrender of the lease held by the previous tenant, Asset
Services London Ltd. ChannelAdvisor relocated from UK headquarters in Richmond,
taking the space on a five-year lease at a rent of GBP127,200 per annum,
equating to GBP42.50 per sq ft. Currently just one floor remains vacant at the
building, totalling 2,953 sq ft on the third floor.
Philip Leech, Chief Executive of Terrace Hill, said:
"This sale demonstrates that there is strong demand in the market for good
quality, well-managed assets particularly central London offices. The disposal
will allow us to recycle the capital into profitable new projects, further
enhancing our shareholder's capital invested in our business."
Doherty Baines acted for the purchaser and Terrace Hill represented itself.
