Development Securities sells Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, retail investment for £26.5m

Development Securities, advised by BCM, has sold the freehold of the Princess of Wales Precinct and Long Causeway shopping centre in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire to a private investor for £26.5m. The deal reflects a net initial yield of 5.5%.

The 80,970 sq ft high street scheme comprises 25 retail units and is anchored by WH Smith, Boots and Argos. Other tenants include New Look, Mothercare and Burtons, providing a total rental income of £1,483,701 pa.

Tim Wills of BCM comments: "This property is in an excellent location within Dewsbury's prime shopping core. With 83% of the income secured against national multiple covenants it is a strong retail investment and this was reflected in the price achieved."
