Custodian REIT invests £1.7m in Nottingham development

A drive-through coffee shop with 34 parking spaces is being built on the land next to the Castle Marina Shopping Park

Castle Marina Retail Park in Nottingham

A property investment company has completed a £1.7 million deal for a development site in Nottingham.

Custodian REIT has acquired 0.6 acres of land next to the Castle Marina Retail Park and recently developed NG2 Business Park.

The land is on the busy A453 Queens Drive, the main route into Nottingham city centre from the south.

The site is having a 2,163 sq ft drive-through coffee shop with 34 parking spaces built on it, with construction phased over an expected six month period.

The unit, to be developed by Portal Nottingham Limited, has been pre-let to KBeverage Limited (trading as Starbucks Coffee) on a 20 year lease, without break, with five yearly upward only market rent reviews.

The total annual rent will be £115,000 a year - a net initial yield of 6.67 per cent.

Richard Shepherd-Cross, managing director of Leicester-based Custodian Capital Limited, the listed company’s discretionary investment manager, said: “Demand for drive-through stores continues to show growth, especially in the hot beverage market, and is proving resilient in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“The location of this property on an arterial access route for Nottingham city centre allows easy accessibility for traffic both entering and leaving the city, enhancing the site’s offering.”
