Carlyle and ARA Dunedin’s joint venture has bought a £102m (€119m) portfolio of UK logistics assets from Moorfield Real Estate Fund IV.

The companies said the joint venture,  established in March this year, has bought the fully-leased portfolio of 11 distribution logistics assets. The fully-leased 1m sqft portfolio is located in the southeast and northwest regions.

Carlyle funded its investment through Carlyle Europe Realty, a pan-European real estate strategy.

The Carlyle and ARA Dunedin joint venture already holds a portfolio of nine UK distribution logistics assets which it acquired earlier this year.

Anssi Halonen, managing director on the Carlyle Europe Realty advisory team, said the latest acquisition consists of �highly complementary assets to our existing footprint, and the acquisition exemplifies our strategy of identifying well-located assets in the European distribution logistics market, which continues to be an asset class with attractive fundamentals and benefitting from strong structural trends�.
