21st Mar 2018 11:12

LONDON (Alliance News) - U&I Group PLC said Monday that it netted GBP2.0 million from the sale of the Machine Store in the Old Vinyl Factory development in the Hayes area of London to FTSE 250-listed Crest Nicholson Holdings PLC.

The property regeneration company secured planning consent at the Machine Store for the development of 81 homes and 11,200 square feet of retail and commercial space that will be delivered by Crest Nicholson. U&I will retain the commercial space within its portfolio.

"The sale of the Machine Store is another exciting step in the transformation of The Old Vinyl Factory in Hayes. The gains realised from this sale have contributed to the record level of development and trading gains achieved in 2018, at the top end of our target of GBP65-70 million," said Deputy Chief Executive Richard Upton.

"We are also pleased to be retaining the commercial element of the development within our investment portfolio, as we acquire assets that better align with our focus on regeneration, targeting investment portfolio returns of 10% per annum," Upton added.

Shares in U&I Group were up 1.5% at 198.20 pence on Wednesday.
