has sold an £80m (€95m) portfolio of e-warehousing assets in the UK to Realty Income.

The pan-European investor and asset manager specialising in multi-tenanted properties said the fully-occupied portfolio comprises 11 assets with a total area of 481,300sqft.

M7 said 10 assets were sold on behalf of M7 Box+I, with the remaining asset disposed of for M7 REIP IX.

Having assembled the portfolio by January 2021, M7 focused on selecting UK e-warehouses in locations suitable for last-mile delivery, with potential for future rental and capital growth, the manager said.

David Ebbrell, CEO of M7 Real Estate, said: “The sale of Box+I in a relatively short timeframe demonstrates our ability to identify and assemble an attractive portfolio spread across competitive locations.

�We saw an opportunity to benefit from the strength of the investment market and sentiment towards one of the most interesting UK real estate asset classes: e-warehouses. After executing on the accumulation and value creation strategies as envisaged in the funds’ business plans, we decided to sell the portfolio.�
