Valor Real Estate Partners is buying a £146m (€169m) industrial estate from UK real estate manager Lothbury Investment Management.

The European last-mile real estate firm said it has agreed to acquire the Tera 40 industrial estate on Auriol Drive in Greenford in the London Borough of Ealing. The estate, on a 19-acre site, comprises four fully-let distribution assets totalling 340,650sqft.

Jeremy Achkar, head of UK investment at Valor, said: “This prime last-mile estate represents a rare opportunity to acquire modern distribution space at scale in one of West London’s most competitive sub-markets.

“We view the real estate as impossible to replicate and replace, and its functionality and location is entirely consistent with our deployment strategy across London.�

Ed Hockley, executive director at Lothbury Investment Management, said: “This asset has been in the fund since inception and Lothbury developed the majority of the estate ourselves, demonstrating the strength of our in-house development capability and the conviction of our core/active approach to investing.

“The asset is now too large for the fund and is being sold to mitigate asset concentration risk.�
