The building is let to Exel Europe Ltd (trading under the DHL brand in the UK) who are holding over on a lease that expired in January 2007. The current rent of £420,000 p.a. (£13.31 per sq ft) is under review as part of ongoing lease renewal negotiations with the tenant. Chris Turner, Fund Manager, commented, 'This is a good quality building in a prime office location in central Milton Keynes. Occupational demand is increasing at a time when supply is limited. We therefore hope to see good rental growth in the short to medium term, following 10 years of almost static rents.'
