ALMCOR and Cerberus complete purchase of latest UK IOS asset

JV partners announce latest deal to grow European Industrial Outdoor
Storage (EIOS) platform

ALMCOR and joint venture partner Cerberus Capital Management have announced the latest investment in their European Industrial Outdoor Storage (EIOS) platform.

The JV has deployed £20m on a 30-acre multi-let industrial and open storage site at Bridgwater, South West England. The asset offers low site coverage, a strong income base, and multiple asset management angles underpinned by excellent transport links to the M5.

This deal builds on recent platform acquisitions including Leyland Business Park in Preston, a 48-acre multi-let industrial and open storage site, and Melton Commercial Park in Melton Mowbray, a 90-acre multi-let commercial estate.

IOS assets are typically of low building site cover with a core focus on location and occupier demand from tenants mostly associated with logistics and light industrial sectors. Target sites normally benefit from easy access to major road / rail networks, marine ports or airports, and often have close proximity to established industrial and logistics zones.

The JV’s EIOS platform aims to aggregate income producing assets with the potential to generate strong returns through active asset management and the creation of a specialist sector operating model.

Peter McCluskey, Head of Active Value at ALMCOR, said: “The Bridgwater asset is another good example of our ambitions for the platform. The site has a strong tenant base, great transport links, and  offers opportunities for a transformative development programme to repurpose the estate into an institutional IOS asset.

“We continue to develop our diverse, income-producing portfolio and are actively looking for more  investment opportunities across the UK and Europe.”

Operating across Active Value and Strategic Land strategies, ALMCOR aims to identify opportunistic real estate investments driving exceptional capital returns through innovative asset management.

The transaction was carried out off-market.

Thames Enterprise Park welcomes Mayor of Thurrock to mark regeneration milestone

The Mayor of Thurrock, Councillor Sue Little, visited Thames Enterprise Park in February to mark the start of another phase of deconstruction work at the former Coryton Oil Refinery.

The clearance works are an important step in the regeneration of the 412-acre brownfield site and the development of Thames Enterprise Park, one of the largest employment-led regeneration projects in the South East.

The Mayor was hosted by Development Director Graham Stark to mark the start of this work, to see the deconstruction process first-hand, and to meet the teams working on-site.

Specialist contractors DSM are taking down 34 previously used oil storage tanks as part of site clearance and preparation work required for development.  Across the site, above-ground structures have been decommissioned, cleaned, and then demolished or removed in phases. 

When complete, Thames Enterprise Park is projected to create 5,500 jobs and to generate £350m per year for the local economy.

Thurrock Mayor, Councillor Sue Little, said: “It was a pleasure to visit Thames Enterprise Park to see the progress being made as this new phase of decommissioning begins.  I was glad to meet the skilled, specialist teams working hard to move this project forwards.”

Graham Stark, Development Director at Thames Enterprise Park said: “This new phase of work is a key phase in the process to unlock the size and scale of the opportunity at Thames Enterprise Park. We were pleased to welcome the Mayor to see first-hand the progress being made.  When complete, Thames Enterprise Park will result in more than £350 million per year delivered back into the local economy.  That’s £3.5 billion of economic impact over the first 10 years of operation here in Thurrock.”

ALMCOR and Cerberus acquire a further £50 million of UK assets for European Industrial Outdoor Storage (EIOS) platform

JV partners signal growth ambitions after acquisitions in Leyland and Melton Mowbray


ALMCOR and joint venture partner Cerberus Capital Management have announced a substantial investment in two UK sites for its European Industrial Outdoor Storage (EIOS) platform.


The JV was launched in 2022 with €500m of allocated capital to deploy in target markets across the UK and mainland Europe. The platform aims to aggregate income producing assets with the potential to generate strong returns through active asset management and the creation of a specialist sector operating model.


EIOS assets are typically of low building site cover with a core focus on location and occupier demand from tenants mostly associated with logistics and light industrial sectors. Target sites normally benefit from easy access to major road / rail networks, marine ports or airports and often have close proximity to established industrial and logistics zones.
The recent acquisitions are:


• Leyland Business Park, Preston – a 48-acre multi-let industrial and open storage site with substantial development and asset management opportunities. The site benefits from excellent connectivity being adjacent to West Coast Mainline and both the M6 and the M65.


• Melton Commercial Park, Melton Mowbray – a 90-acre multi-let commercial estate with opportunities for redevelopment and energy generation . The strategically located site also benefits from two rail sidings serving a Network Rail test facility.


Peter McCluskey, Head of Active Value at ALMCOR, said: “These acquisitions provide an excellent snapshot into what we are doing in the EIOS platform. From the highly strategic location of Leyland Business Park to the critical rail facility in Melton, we’re quickly developing a diverse income producing portfolio with scope to drive value in a number of areas.
“Our Active Value platform builds on ALMCOR’s pedigree within the industrial and logistics sector, and we’re using this capability to unlock unrealised value potential through strategic acquisitions and active asset management. We’re actively looking for more EIOS investment opportunities across the UK and Europe.”


Examples of target EIOS assets include freight consolidation terminals, HGV parking, container yards, low site cover industrial / business parks, fleet storage & maintenance facilities, and bulk material storage.
Operating across Active Value and Strategic Land strategies, ALMCOR aims to identify opportunistic real estate investments driving exceptional capital returns through innovative asset management.


At Leyland Business Park, PK3 represented ALMCOR and Cerberus with BHT acting for the seller, Ainscough Properties Limited. Lambert Smith Hampton acted for ALMCOR at Melton Mowbray, with Savills representing the sellers Harworth Group.

Completion reached on a landmark 115,600 sqft speculative warehouse development in North Bristol

Completion reached on a landmark 115,600 sqft speculative warehouse development in North Bristol

One of the largest single speculative warehouses to be built in Bristol has now reached practical completion at Horizon38, the landmark regeneration and employment scheme in Filton, north Bristol.

Unit G5, a 115,600 sq ft warehouse has been delivered by St Francis Group and ALMCOR with main contractor MCS Group Ltd. The property is immediately available for occupation.

The unit has been completed to a high specification, featuring 10 dock level doors, and 2 ground level doors, 50 KN/m2 floor loading, haunch height of 12m and a large secure yard, as well as a wide range of sustainable features including 6 EV charging points. The space also includes 5,600 sq ft of office space on the upper floor.

Situated within the Filton Enterprise Area, Horizon38 benefits from a ready labour supply within walking distance, the new Brabazon development, great local transport links including the MetroBus route, and accessibility to the city as well as the motorway networks.

Nigel Lax, Joint Founder of iSec Group (now Almcor), said: “Unit G5 represents the culmination of 7 years hard work on the part of Almcor and St Francis Group in regenerating the former 65 acre East Works Site and creating North Bristol’s premier business park. We are very proud of what our joint teams have achieved and look forward to successfully letting the final unit at Horizon 38”.

James Short, Associate at Avison Young, added: “Unit G5 will be a continuation of the high quality, sustainably built, speculative units developed at Horizon38, sitting alongside prestigious occupiers such as The Delivery Group and Elemis.”

“As a result of this accessibility, the size and high spec development of the new unit, the warehouse could easily act as a major industrial HQ for a local company, a strategic logistics hub servicing the region, or a facility to expand the neighbouring aerospace industries.”

Horizon38 combines industrial and distribution buildings totalling 580,000 sq ft with a further 25 acres of mixed employment space including new offices, trade warehouses, motor trade outlets with high profile occupiers including Village Urban Resorts, Volvo, GKN and CarShop.

Welcoming the Government’s green light for Thames Freeport

Welcoming the Government’s green light for Thames Freeport

Thames Enterprise Park (TEP) has welcomed the Government’s green light for Thames Freeport and its confirmation of £25 million in initial funding to drive development and accelerate the delivery of the Freeport’s benefits and potential.

As a ‘Customs’ site within Thames Freeport, TEP will deliver the ‘additionality’ which is so central to the Freeport regeneration objective, complementing the already identified ‘Tax’ sites and offering its unique land platform into the Freeport ecosystem.

HM Government confirmed its commitment to Thames Freeport (20 March announcement – read here).

Rupert Wood, Head of Strategic Land at ALMCOR, speaking on behalf of Thames Enterprise Park, said: “Thames Freeport has significant potential to be transformational for Thurrock, South Essex and the wider Thames Estuary.  The Government green light and funding commitment is another important step forward.  At Thames Enterprise Park, we have a strategic land platform to bring into the overall Thames Freeport area and we expect to deliver substantial ‘additionality’ in terms of jobs, return on invested capital, and a full spectrum of broader commercial, social and environmental benefits.”

TEP is part of Thames Freeport alongside Port of Tilbury, Ford Dagenham, DP World London Gateway and the Port of London Authority (PLA).

Triggered by the Government announcement, Thames Freeport will now receive up to £25 million seed funding from government and potentially hundreds of millions in locally retained business rates to drive growth in the UK’s advanced manufacturing, biomanufacturing, logistics, and low carbon industries.

Levelling Up Minister Dehenna Davison said: “We’re delivering on our mission to grow the economy and level up right across the UK.  Thames Freeport is up and running and will bring high quality jobs, investment and trading opportunities for businesses in the region.”

Robin Mortimer, Maritime UK Chair said: “This latest wave of Freeport approvals is a major boost for UK maritime and the wider levelling-up agenda. Business, and the wider communities, will now be able to benefit from the wave of investment, development and jobs that Freeports are projected to generate.” 

Thames Freeport estimates that it will generate over 12,000 new jobs, and as a gateway to London, its hubs are well placed to provide global shipping routes for exporting UK produced goods and importing vital products for supply chains.

TEP anticipates making a significant difference to occupiers and industries that want to be part of the Freeport ecosystem and will benefit directly from locating at TEP where they can be part of the sustainable industries, clean fuels, advanced manufacturing and decarbonisation hub that TEP will provide.

TEP has planning permission (‘Resolution to Grant’) for  up to 3.7 million sq ft of commercial development within an integrated site masterplan for the regeneration of the former Coryton oil refinery site. 

With multi-modal connectivity (river, rail and road) together with deep-water jetties and important pipeline infrastructure already in place, TEP will provide outstanding commercial space for advanced logistics, advanced manufacturing and next-generation energy technology uses.  It will particularly benefit businesses looking for energy resilience, decarbonisation and ESG goals.

On its own, TEP will create up to 5,500 new jobs and deliver an estimated £350 million per year to the local economy.

It will transform 412 acres of brownfield land into a new commercial district with the first plots expected to be ready for development during 2023

TEP is one of ALMCOR’s major brownfield regeneration projects.  It is part of ALMCOR’s portfolio of large-scale, complex redevelopment sites where ALMCOR’s capability and expertise is making the difference in bringing strategic sites forward.

Corringham Christmas lights sparkle – with a little help from Thames Enterprise Park

Corringham Christmas lights sparkle – with a little help from Thames Enterprise Park

As Christmas comes to Corringham, Thames Enterprise Park (TEP) is pleased to be playing a part in helping to create and celebrate the festive spirit.

Working with the Corringham, Fobbing & Homesteads Community Forum, TEP is delighted to be funding improvements and essential upgrades for the town centre Christmas lights for the second year running.

Roy Jones, Chair of Corringham, Fobbing & Homesteads Community Forum, said: “The Christmas lights make a really important contribution to Corringham town centre and bring a bit of sparkle for the festive season.  Without TEP’s support we would have struggled to finance the improvements needed so we’re tremendously grateful.  It’s excellent to have partnerships with local Thurrock businesses, like we do with TEP and a number of others, to help us achieve the things the Forum wouldn’t otherwise be able to achieve on its own.”

Graham Stark, Development Director at Thames Enterprise Park, said: “The Thames Enterprise Park site has been a major local employment location for over a hundred years and we’re delighted to continue to be an active member of the local community and ensure that TEP makes a positive difference where we can.  Helping to make sure that the Corringham Christmas lights shine bright in an energy efficient way is something we’re proud to support.  We wish everyone a peaceful, safe and happy Christmas.”

The Corringham Christmas lights are put on every year by the Community Forum.  TEP’s funding has allowed for new timers and important new parts to be purchased and installed, meaning the lights can operate safely, effectively, and in the most efficient way again this year.

Horizon 29, Bolsover

 

Ground broken on latest multi-million development at Horizon 29

ALMCOR and its joint venture partner St Francis Group have announced breaking ground on a new 113,000 sq ft robot led HQ/warehouse for fast growing Chesterfield based Pharmacy Chain Peak Pharmacy at their much sought after Horizon 29 industrial development site at Bolsover, North Derbyshire.

Works on the £20M ultra-modern headquarters and facility commenced at the start of June and are accelerating rapidly. The new facility will use state of the art robotics and automated systems to support staff handling over 400,000 medicines and other prescribed items every month, equating to 20,000 a day, more than 40 every minute.

The new Pharmacy Service Centre will handle prescriptions and dispatch medicines for the firm’s 150 community pharmacies across England. Prescriptions will be assembled for individual patients, then either delivered to local pharmacies for collection the next day, or direct to patients’ homes.

The new hub is expected to take 9 months to build and due to open in April next year. It will house up to 100 staff, with the potential to grow into a 24-hour operation in future.

MCS Construction has been appointed as the main building contractor. The JV partners also acknowledge the support of the North East Derbyshire District Council, Bolsover District Council, Derbyshire County Council and the D2N2 LEP in bringing this development forward.

Rupert Wood, Head of Strategic Land at ALMCOR, said: “Following on from the sale of 80 acres to BentallGreenOak at the end of last year, it’s excellent to be on site with our latest building at Horizon 29. This will be an impressive new facility within an established logistics location in North East Derbyshire.”

Gareth Williams, Development Director at St Francis Group, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have formally marked the start of works on site and to be building this fantastic new facility for fast-growing customer Peak Pharmacy with the team on site already having made significant progress. This new facility serves as the first unit to be built at Horizon 29, welcoming our first occupier. Since we commenced the extensive remediation of the site interest in the scheme has been extensive and the recent sale by the JV of 80 acres of land to BentallGreenOak for the speculative development of 1.2 million sq ft of warehouse and logistics space speaks to that. We look forward to working with the team at Peak Pharmacy and delivering a first-class facility next year.”

Joe Cattee, Managing Director at Peak Pharmacy, said: “These are ambitious plans for our company, staff and customers – in the face of a rapidly changing pharmacy landscape. This new facility will be truly transformational for us. We’re investing now to future-proof our business, so that we can continue to provide great local customer service which means so much to us. We are very pleased to be working with St Francis and ALMCOR and the full project team and look forward to seeing the development rise out of the ground as it happens.”

iSec evolves with new strategy and rebrand as ALMCOR

CEO JONATHAN WHITTINGHAM LOOKING TO WIDEN FROM INDUSTRIALS INTO RETAIL, STRATEGIC LAND AND FIRST MILE LOGISTICS AS PART OF DIVERSIFICATION AND GROWTH.

Leading real estate investment and asset management business iSec has rebranded as ALMCOR as it launches a new strategy for diversification and growth.

CEO Jonathan Whittingham is evolving the business from its traditional strengths in the European industrial sector into new asset classes targeting opportunities where its proven expertise can leverage value and returns. ALMCOR is creating thematic investment platforms with scale across logistics, strategic land and retail.

In support of the refreshed strategy, the business has invested in senior hires and recruited Rupert Wood as Head of Strategic Land, Graham Stark as Development Director, Peter McCluskey as Head of Active Value and Watkin Samuel as COO.

Rupert Wood, previously a Director at St Modwen, will lead ALMCOR’s expansion of its strategic land activity. In January 2022, Rupert led the ALMCOR team in its JV with St Francis Group to sell 80 acres of its Horizon 29 warehouse and logistics development to BentallGreenOak.

As part of a more expansive approach to strategic land, the business adopts the role of “Master Developer” , in addition to its previous promoter role, as it moves to take on responsibility for its projects from conception through to implementation.

In this respect, Graham Stark joins ALMCOR from Lendlease where he worked on its Silvertown Quays regeneration project and, prior to that, was development director for Imperial College on its White City Campus. Graham is heading up ALMCOR’s Thames Enterprise Park major regeneration project in Thurrock, regenerating a former oil refinery into a new commercial and economic centre for specialised sustainable industries as a critical part of the Thames Freeport initiative.

Peter McCluskey leads ALMCOR’s Active Value Investment strategy in retail and First Mile logistics and is also responsible for streamlining ALMCOR’s asset management function.

Watkin Samuel leads the business’ platform restructuring in order to ensure best in practice compliance and reporting standards to facilitate effective investment partnering.

Jonathan Whittingham, CEO at ALMCOR, said: “Our new strategy, our investment in senior management and our re-brand to ALMCOR are all part of our revised approach to doing business and to creating value through our real estate activities. Across industrials and logistics, retail, and strategic land we are investing with intent and bringing forward high-value opportunities in partnership with our core institutional partners. We want to do more and are looking for the right opportunities.”

The new strategy defines ALMCOR’s corporate objective as being to identify opportunistic real estate investments, to develop creative strategies for adding value, and to effectively execute those strategies to generate exceptional capital returns while providing consistent, stable cash flow.

ALMCOR is part of MARCOL, a pan-European operating investor driving growth, value and innovation. MARCOL specialises in real estate and private equity, with a focus on healthcare services, technology and operational real estate companies.

The firm retains much of the ‘MARCOL DNA’ upon which its historical success is based and will continue to benefit from the international reach and capability that MARCOL provides.
