Development Securities Sells Watford, Chorlton-Cum-Hardy Properties

9th Apr 2014 07:48

LONDON (Alliance News) - Development Securities PLC Wednesday said it has sold a mixed-use site in Watford to an unnamed housebuilder and the Chorlton Cross Shopping Centre in Chorlton-cum-Hardy to the Greater Manchester Property Venture Fund for a combined GBP15.7 million.

In a joint venture with property company Landchain, the firm sold the first phase of a 3.4 acre mixed-use site in Watford, which includes 107 residential units, for GBP5.6 million. The remaining element of the site contains a 37,000 square foot office building, Rembrandt House, which presents options for refurbishment or redevelopment in the near to medium-term.

The Chorlton shopping centre, which was initially acquired in November 2011 at a yield of 8.44%, was sold for GBP10.1 million.

"Both of these assets were acquired in 2011 and since then we have added considerable value through proactive asset management and enhancement," Matthew Weiner, a director at Development Securities said in a statement.

Development Securities shares were untraded at 236.00 pence early Wednesday.
