BTG Eddisons продала исторический причал De Pass Wharf в Бarking за 19 млн фунтов

A 6.6-acre Thames-side wharf in east London offering redevelopment opportunities has been sold by BTG Eddisons, in a sign of strong investor interest in scarce industrial land in the capital. The De Pass Wharf on River Road in Barking was sold for an undisclosed sum, but had been marketed for £19m. The site operates as an industrial storage yard with two wharf gates and benefits from being an official Port of London Authority protected wharf site. It offers long-term potential for development in a market where industrial land of scale is increasingly difficult to source. Kemsley Property Consultants acquired the site on behalf of the unnamed purchaser. The wharf’s origins date back to 1878 when it formed part of a Victorian fertiliser and chemical works established by the De Pass family. Henry Pauncefort-Duncombe, head of strategic land at BTG Eddisons, said: “Opportunities to acquire industrial land of this scale within Greater London are becoming increasingly rare. Demand remains strong from a broad spectrum of investors, developers and occupiers who recognise the long-term strategic importance of sites capable of supporting industrial and logistics uses. “The De Pass Wharf attracted considerable interest because it combines scale, a Thames-side location and significant future potential. As industrial land supply continues to tighten across London, we expect competition for similar opportunities to remain intense.”
