Savills brings prime Amazon-occupied logistics investment to the market in Belfast for £28.83m

Property advisor, Savills Ireland, has been instructed to bring to market a landmark logistics investment opportunity in Belfast, fully let to Amazon UK Services Ltd. 

The purpose-built last-mile warehouse and distribution facility, located at Channel Commercial Park in the Titanic Quarter, is being offered with a guide price of £28.83 million, reflecting a net initial yield of 6.00%.

Constructed in 2020, the state-of-the-art property extends to 411,185 sq ft on a self-contained site of approximately 9.5 acres. The facility comprises a 91,077 sq ft distribution warehouse, 9,282 sq ft of offices, and a 479-space triple-deck van park extending to over 320,000 sq ft.

The property is let in its entirety to Amazon UK Services Ltd on a straight 15-year full repairing and insuring lease from September 2020, at a current rent of £2,068,090 per annum. The lease incorporates five-yearly upwards-only rent reviews, compounded annually to CPI, with a collar and cap of 1.5% – 2.75%.

Located within the well-established Belfast Harbour industrial area, the asset benefits from excellent connectivity to Belfast Port, the city centre, and the wider motorway network. It represents Northern Ireland’s only purpose-built last mile distribution centre, designed to Amazon’s specific requirements.

Ben Turtle, Head of Savills Northern Ireland, commented:

“This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a prime logistics asset underpinned by a long lease to one of the world’s strongest covenants. The combination of Amazon’s commitment to the building, the strategic location within Belfast Harbour, and the quality of the specification will appeal to both domestic and international investors seeking secure income in a resilient sector.”

Savills is seeking offers in excess of £28,830,000 for the long leasehold interest, excluding VAT.
