The property comprises three interlinked buildings totalling 336,369 sq.ft. of Grade A offices, completed in 2014. The Property is located in Aberdeen International Business Park a master planned 1 million sq. ft. development situated on a 40-acre site next to Aberdeen Airport.
Aker took the property on a 20-year lease term to 2035 for a contracted rent of £7.74m, equating to £23.75 per sq ft with RPI linked rent reviews. The property serves as Aker’s UK headquarters and is considered a key location and administrative hub for the maintenance of oil platforms in the North Sea.
We are delighted to be able to support LCN in purchasing a high spec Grade A office property. The strength of the covenant, long dated nature of the income and expertise of the LCN provides us with excellent risk-reward.
