MacLaren & Partners have been very active in the sector for over seven years advising and creating investment stock with best-in-class convenience store and roadside use developers. In excess £100m of stock has been either bought or sold for clients. Commercial property investors have recognised the popularity of local convenience shopping, which is emerging as a separate asset class. The occupational resilience these locations have shown, with their diversified tenant mix, is attracting a different type of investor. MacLaren & Partners forecast that with the housebuilding boom in the shires and requirements planners have as part of the 106 agreement, there will still be plenty of opportunities to invest in the retail sub-sector that is simple to understand and positioned for our everyday need of convenience.
