In a statement released on Monday, the group said the price for the property, which contains a 130,000 square foot retail warehouse park let to 12 tenants and an adjoining 11,600 square foot office building, reflected a net initial yield of 6.5%.
"The acquisition follows the disposal of low or non-income producing property and results in SREIT being substantially invested with a fully covered dividend," said Duncan Owen, global head of real estate at Schroders.
SREIT shares were up 0.62% to 60.62p at 14:09 on Monday.
