Investment Management has acquired the Waitrose & John Lewis at Home on Futura Retail Park in Ipswich for £21.9m, reflecting a net initial yield (NIY) of 8.1%.

The deal marks the third acquisition for the investment manager’s Greenridge Opportunities (GO) Fund, which made its first close in October 2023 at £150m.

Developed in 2012, the property comprises a purpose-built, modern food store and retail warehouse extending to a total of 71,235 sq ft, with 14.1 years remaining on the lease.

The unit is occupied by John Lewis Properties on a long lease until November 2037. It benefits from five-yearly fixed rental uplifts at 3% per annum compound, with the next review scheduled for November 2027. The store boasts excellent ESG credentials and an EPC B rating.

The prime East Anglian property was bought from an institutional fund client of Cushman & Wakefield, who represented the vendor, with KLM Real Estate acting for Greenridge.

Bik Bhuptani, co-founder of Greenridge Investment Management, added: “This acquisition further strengthens the Greenridge GO Fund’s portfolio, providing stable income and significant growth potential. We look forward to continuing our success with similar strategic investments.”
