LONDON, Oct. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- H.I.G. Capital ("H.I.G."), a 
leading global alternative investment firm with $70 billion of capital 
under management, is pleased to announce that one of its affiliates has 
completed the acquisition of two prime last-mile IOS and logistics 
estates in Greater London. 
 
 
 
   The properties, acquired off-market in Erith and Rainham, are 
strategically positioned along key logistics corridors with direct 
access to Central London and major arterial routes. Both sites offer 
immediate income and substantial value-add potential through targeted 
repositioning, rental reversion, and ESG-led upgrades. 
 
 
   Acquired at a material discount to replacement cost, the assets are 
fully occupied, yet significantly under-rented, reflecting legacy lease 
structures. H.I.G. plans to unlock embedded upside through a phased 
refurbishment and reconfiguration strategy, delivering high-spec, 
sustainable logistics space tailored for last-mile, industrial outdoor 
storage, and flexible multi-let use occupiers. 
 
 
   Following these transactions, H.I.G. Realty's UK IOS and logistics 
platform now comprises over 1.5 million square feet, and a GAV in excess 
of GBP300m. The platform is focused on high-barrier, supply-constrained 
submarkets across London and the Golden Triangle, where demand for 
modern, institutional-grade logistics stock continues to outpace supply. 
 
 
   Riccardo Dallolio, Managing Director and Head of H.I.G. Realty in Europe, 
commented, "These acquisitions reflect our conviction in the continued 
structural growth of urban logistics and our ability to identify 
mispriced opportunities in one of Europe's most dynamic industrial 
markets. Both sites offer immediate income and strong rental reversion, 
alongside longer-term repositioning potential. We are pleased to further 
scale our presence in the UK with high-quality, well-located assets." 
 
 
   Jérôme Fouillé, Managing Director at H.I.G. Realty in 
Europe, added, "We remain focused on building a prime and resilient 
portfolio of logistics assets in urban infill markets with clear 
fundamentals and constrained new supply. These transactions are 
emblematic of our thematic approach and operational execution targeting 
under-managed estates with the potential to deliver modern, ESG-aligned 
products into the market. We continue to evaluate a strong pipeline of 
similar opportunities across the UK and continental Europe."
