Rotherhill has recently completed on two industrial investment acquisitions in Derby and Eastwood on behalf of a long-standing joint venture partner.
Peak Drive, Derby comprises a 20,400 sq ft single-let industrial unit situated on a 1.78-acre site. Meadowbank Court, Eastwood extends to a total floor area of 18,556 sq ft across five units, comprising four industrial units and one office unit, with sizes ranging from 2,500 sq ft to 5,000 sq ft. Both investments were completed in late December 2025.
Peak Drive, Derby is located off the city’s outer ring road in Osmaston, the property has been let continuously to the occupying business since its construction in 2007. It is situated in an established industrial and retail location with adjoining occupiers including Tool Station, Tile Giant, B&Q, Sainsbury’s, McDonald’s, KFC, and Lidl.
The building is let until September 2028, is of high specification and benefits from dual service yards presenting flexibility to sub-divide into two smaller back-to-back units in the future, if required.
Commenting on the Derby acquisition, Ed Jeffrey, Director at Rotherhill, said: “This is a well-located, modern industrial property. With limited availability of new‑build or existing buildings offering similar quality and size, this acquisition presented a compelling investment opportunity, with the prospect of medium‑term asset‑management initiatives to enhance returns.”
Eastwood is a low site density small unit scheme with excellent accessibility to the A610 and M1 at J26. The immediate area is an established industrial location with Amazon and Evri occupying large warehouses nearby, and Greene King, Warburtons, Royal Mail and Travis Perkins neighbouring the property.
Commenting on the Eastwood acquisition, Ed Jeffrey, Director at Rotherhill, said: “Meadowbank Court has excellent accessibility and is ideally positioned for the incumbent occupiers.
The investment purchase was underpinned by its replacement cost and break-up value and had upcoming lease events providing an immediate asset management opportunity.
Small unit investments of Meadowbank’s specification and quality of location are hard to come by, and we are pleased to have completed the purchase.”
AP Investment acted for Rotherhill on both purchases, with Ben Wisher of Colliers acting for the vendor, Central Midlands Estates.
