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."
