The property is currently let to B&Q, Aldi and Costa and has a weighted average unexpired lease term of 18 years.
LXi REIT bought the property through a forward funded purchase for £24m in 2019. It said the sale price is in line with the 31 March 2023 book value, having been held for sale, and generates an “attractive” 11% IRR.
Proceeds from the sale are set to be used to reduce leverage and, potentially, to be invested in the company’s higher yielding pipeline, it said.
