Evans Randall originates, arranges finance, underwrites and invests in real estate investments in the UK and Western Europe.
Following completion of an acquisition, our team sources equity contributions for the investments and pro-actively manages these investments to gain maximum value for ourselves and our co-investors.
We target prime investment assets let on long leases to very strong covenant tenants, with fixed or indexed rental uplifts. These offer secure income streams and good capital growth prospects for investors.
Through careful financial engineering, the group creates tax efficient structures to maximise asset values and returns for investors.
In conjunction with our real estate advisers, CB Richard Ellis, we determine the optimal time at which to maximise value from a transaction.
Tenants within our portfolio include (or have included) 3M, ABN AMRO, Rolls-Royce, B&Q, the Financial Services Authority, ING, St James's Place Capital, HBOS, the UK Government, Cisco Systems, Man Group Plc, De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, Swiss Re, Coutts & Co, Deutsche Telekom, Credit Suisse / Bank of America, the European Commission, Commerzbank and Morgan Lewis.
We are completing acquisitions involving both AAA rated government assets and highly rated financial institution tenants. The average minimum lease term of the group’s portfolio exceeds 20 years.
Our portfolio currently comprises around £4.5 billion (US$9 billion) of commercial property and we anticipate that it will have grown to £5.0 billion (US$10 billion) by the end of 2008. We plan to add at least £1 billion of further investments year on year.
