This update includes details on the Group pre-selling a large development in Newcastle, being appointed as the development partner for a new 80 acre business park in the South West, receiving planning consent for two large office developments in the South East, the purchase of a 16 acre retail and mixed use development site in Middlesbrough and a multi-let office building in Bristol with redevelopment opportunities. The key details for each of the Group's recent deals are as follows: • The Group has fully let and forward sold its 83,141 sq ft joint venture development, Time Central, at Gallowgate in Newcastle to a UK institution a year ahead of completion for £32.5m, representing a net initial yield of 4.52%. The price achieved is ahead of initial expectations and a record initial yield for a Newcastle office investment. • Terrace Hill has been chosen by Persimmon Homes as its preferred developer at Weston Park, a new 80 acre business park at Junction 21 of the M5 close to Weston-super-Mare. The park is part of the redevelopment of the former Weston Airfield, a mixed-use scheme where the Company has plans for up to one million sq ft of B1 office space, leisure facilities, restaurants and a hotel. Phase one of the project, which will see work commence towards the end of 2007, is for the construction of 50,000 sq ft of office space over three acres. • At Pinewood in Wokingham, the Group has received detailed planning consent for a 200,000 sq ft office building, which will be developed for Johnson & Johnson Medical as its UK headquarters. Construction is planned to start in spring 2007 and is expected to have a completed value of approximately £40m. • At Cargo Fleet Lane between Terrace Hill's Middlehaven office development and Middlesbrough's town centre, the Group has paid £8m for a 16 acre retail and mixed use development site. The site benefits from an existing planning consent for 63,000 sq ft of bulky goods retail floor space and it is anticipated that this could be extended to add additional retail space as well as leisure and car showroom uses. • At Vanwall Business Park, Maidenhead, the Group has obtained detailed planning consent for 120,000 sq ft of new offices. The development will be carried out through a joint venture between Terrace Hill and clients of Jones Lang LaSalle Corporate Finance. The site, which was purchased for £9.3m, has been sold to the JV for £17.85m. Terrace Hill retains a 50% stake in the JV. • In Bristol the Group has contracted to purchase Canningford House at 38 Victoria Street, a multi-let office investment comprising 20,456 sq ft in a prime city centre location for £2.5m. The property provides an excellent opportunity for redevelopment in medium term. • All 38 of the private and affordable residential units at Davis House, Victoria, the Group's £85m mixed use scheme, have been forward sold for £14.5m. The development is due for completion towards the end of 2007. Group Managing Director, Philip Leech, said, 'We have had an excellent start to 2007. The sale and two planning consents have realised values in excess of initial expectations and the development sites at Weston Park, Middlesbrough and Bristol add considerably to our strategic landbank and future flow of development projects.'
