The firm pointed to its proximity to multiple motorway access routes as a major plus point.

James Stevens, head of real estate investments at Aviva Investors, said: “We are pleased to complete what is an opportunistic purchase in the market, but one which we believe represents good value for our portfolio.”

“It is also a further example of how we are using our position as a strategic buyer to capitalise on our appetite for well-located and prime industrial assets, in good micro-locations and benefitting from strong occupier demand. We believe that all these attributes should lead to the centre delivering a positive long-term investment outcome for our investors.”
