Dublin industrial portfolio at €5.25m offers 6.2 % net initial yield

Five units at Century Business Park produce €351,750 in rental income

Gavin Butler of Savills is guiding a price of €5.25 million for an industrial investment portfolio at the well-located Century Business Park in Finglas, Dublin 11.

Extending to an overall area of 5,617sq m (60,461sq ft), the portfolio comprises five units ranging in size from 420sq m (4,521sq ft) to 2,237sq m (24,079sq ft). The units for sale are of metal-frame construction incorporating clear internal heights from 7.5m to 11m.

The combined rental income is €351,750 per annum, equating to a rent of €5.82 per sq ft and a net initial yield of 6.2 per cent. The portfolio comes with a weighted average unexpired lease term of 3.3 years, and is being offered for sale with the benefit of the common areas within Century Business Park.

Gavin Butler says: “This is an excellent investment opportunity with the guide price reflecting significant value at €82 per sq ft. There is potential to increase the rental income in the short to medium term and, with the common areas included in the sale, there is also longer-term redevelopment potential subject to planning permission.”
