Sheffield Investment Market On The Up

4th April 2014

Lawyers from DLA Piper's Sheffield office have successfully completed two investment sales of let industrial units for J F Finnegan, at its Parkway One Business Centre in Sheffield.

Completing in close succession and with a combined value of over £2.2 million, the disposals provide fresh evidence of the increasing demand for investment opportunities in industrial property in the city. J F Finnegan developed and constructed both units; one of which is let to flower wholesaler G T Flowers Limited and the other to machine knife manufacturer Arkote Limited. Nick Gillott, director at J F Finnegan, said: "it is very pleasing to see these two sales complete and I believe it is testament to the developments J F Finnegan delivers in terms of creating high quality buildings which are attractive to quality tenants and to investment purchasers alike." Mark Johnson, senior associate at DLA Piper who acted for J F Finnegan on both sales added: "it was great to have both sales complete in the space of a matter of weeks and it is certainly a sign of increasing confidence and buoyance in the local property market".
