Offer:What is Industrial REIT?
Industrials REIT Limited is a property investment company listed on both the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) and the Specialist Fund Segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange (LSE).
Industrials REIT Limited owns assets located in the UK, Germany, and Switzerland. With a focus on Multi-Let Industrials, Industrials REI T Limited provides flexible accommodation which appeals to a broad occupier base at an attractive price point that is capable of delivering an attractive and growing income.
The company’s policy is to invest in a diversified portfolio of UK MLI properties with the strategic aim of becoming the leading MLI business in the UK.
Industrial REIT Limited’s history starts in 1995 when Paul Arenson joins the Stenham Group with a remit to establish a real estate fund business.
Today, as managing director, he was responsible for driving the development of the business, and, by the time the Stenham Group was sold to Peregrine Holdings Limited (a financial services business listed on the JSE) in 2007, Stenham Property had in excess of £2bn of assets under management.
In 2000 Stenham Property, the property fund management business of the Stenham Group reaches £100m of properties under management. Nine years later the focus shifts to Central London offices
In 2014, Paul, together with CFO Patsy Watson, orchestrated the sale of Stenham Property and a substantial part of the assets under management, by way of a share deal to a JSE and BSX listed entity, now known as Industrials REIT Limited. Paul was appointed as the CEO of Stenprop and continues in that position.
In 2017, Stenprop acquires the Industrials.co.uk portfolio, then 25 MLI estates, along with the C2 Capital management team founded by Julian Carey. The following year, Stenprop announces plans to focus on UK MLI estates, and in May, it converts to a UK REIT. In June, it lists on the specialist fund segment of the London Stock Exchange (LSE).
Industrial REIT Limited is located near urban areas and is generally easily accessible to transport links. The company lease between 5 and 50 industrial units of different sizes, providing affordable space for a wide range of business activities.
They are mostly let to a highly diversified range of SMEs on three to five-year leases, with units usually ranging from 500 sq ft to 10,000 sq ft in size.
A structural shift in demand for MLI units has taken place and is primarily driven by eCommerce and a growing number of SME businesses in the UK. These long-term trends have been accelerated by the coronavirus pandemic whilst supply remains inelastic due to lack of available land and high construction costs.
The demand/supply imbalance is leading to sustained rental growth of 4-5% per annum in the MLI sector. Despite this, rents remain highly affordable, with most occupiers only spending 2-3% of their annual turnover on rent.
Whilst the industrial property has historically out-performed offices and retail, Industrial REIT Limited is currently experiencing a structural shift in ongoing and long-term demand for flexible industrial space in densely populated urban areas, due to various reasons:
- The growing number of SMEW businesses in the UK and have increased in number by 69% since 2000.
- Conveniently located flexible space for online retail and logistics and many small businesses are moving online and replacing or supplementing high street premises with MLI, to sell, manufacture, dispatch, or store goods.
- The shift of industrial space from traditional heavy manufacturing towards cleaner and more modern activities makes MLI estates a more customer-friendly environment, accessible to the general public, and attracting a wider range of service and high-tech businesses.
- Working practices are changing and the pandemic has highlighted the fragility of complex international supply chains, adding to the desire for local production and distribution.
