Soho
Topland acquired 1-3 Upper James Street, an iconic mixed-use restaurant/office investment in the prime of Soho. Through proactive asset management, we have considerably enhanced the income profile since acquisition.
Retail
Topland invests in all retail sub-sectors including high street, F&B, warehousing, supermarkets, and shopping centers.
Over the years we have invested smartly in the retail sector and was one of the first movers into the large-scale supermarket sale & leasebacks. This included 78 Marks & Spencer stores, 33 Tesco supermarkets and 56 Aldi stores.
More recently, we have acquired across all sub-sectors, targeting high-quality, resilient retail locations across the UK underpinned by institutional/investment grade tenants.
Featured Projects
DFS London Road
We acquired this investment for 9% NIY, with 8.75 years unexpired to DFS. This investment offers high-quality income at an attractive yield. Owing to its solus nature and large site area, the site offers optionality for alternative uses in the future.
