Topland invests in industrial assets for a range of strategies. Our portfolio is a mix of prime and secondary industrial assets located throughout England and Scotland.
We look for opportunities where we can add value through pro-active asset management. We also buy high-quality income investments.
We consider single or multi-unit estates suitable for manufacturing, logistics or distribution. We also consider major industrial portfolios and sale & leaseback opportunities.
West Bromwich
A new 45,000 sqft warehouse on this established estate in the heart of the West Midlands has recently completed and is fully let. Topland secured planning consent to demolish a redundant, vacant office block and replace it with this modern warehouse with 12m eaves, level access doors, extensive yardage and parking. The development has very strong environmental credentials.
