Barings has completed the sale of four logistics assets in Bristol, Daventry, Warrington and Nottingham on behalf of a strategy to acquire core European real estate. The portfolio was sold off-market to joint venture partners Copley Point Capital and Sixth Street.

The assets are located in established UK distribution hubs and are fully let to occupiers on long leases. In Bristol (Avonmouth), the property comprises two logistics units totalling approximately 329,000 sq. ft. The Daventry asset consists of a 238,543 sq. ft warehouse built in 1997 and located in the UK‘s logistics „Golden Triangle“. In Warrington, the property totals 128,543 sq. ft, was built in 1996, and underwent refurbishment in 2018. The Nottingham asset is a 113,168 sq. ft warehouse located on Sherwood Business Park with direct access to the M1 motorway.

Darren Hutchinson, Managing Director and Head of UK Transactions at Barings Real Estate, said: „This opportunistic sale is a good example of strong sale discipline, realising a healthy profit in a relatively short hold period, having successfully increased income by 20 percent. This transaction is a catalyst to enable us to implement our strategy to deepen and further diversify our industrial/logistics exposure by targeting more multi-let assets.“

Gunther Deutsch, Managing Director and Head of European Transactions and Country Head Germany at Barings Real Estate, added: „This transaction highlights our ability to execute disposals in line with our asset management strategies and to realise value on behalf of our investors. Including this transaction, we have already concluded a sales volume of €380 million in logistics in 2025. With nearly €2 billion of capital to deploy in 2025, we are actively looking to reinvest into logistics, living (PBSA/BTR/BTS) and selective office assets, preferably with value add or core+ characteristics across our core geographies, including the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands, the Nordics, Spain and Italy.“

Barings was advised by ACRE Capital Partners. Cushman & Wakefield acted for Copley Point Capital and Sixth Street.
