PAG picks up Lowton Business Park for £4.15m

Backed by IM Group and Westbrooke Capital, Property Alliance Group has acquired the Wigan commercial estate, announcing plans for a £2m upgrade.

Located just off the A580 East Lancashire Road around halfway between Warrington and Wigan, the multi-let scheme comprises serviced offices spanning 25,000 sq ft, along with 30,000 sq ft of industrial space and outdoor storage.

The acquisition was secured with a facility from IM Capital and Westbrooke Capital, the South Africa and London-based fund manager. The deal will see Alliance invest a further £2m in refurbishing and repositioning the business park.

Upgrade plans will expand the on-site storage, remodel the offices and enhance the scheme’s amenity, security, signage and external appearance. Solar panels will also be installed.

Rodney Hunt, investment director at PAG, said: “We are continuously seeking investment opportunities across all sectors, with a focus on acquisitions that enable us to add value. Lowton Business Park is a high yielding development offering excellent potential for further improvement, aligning perfectly with our investment strategy.

“Our new partnership with IM Capital and Westbrooke Capital provides us with the resources and flexibility to quickly transform the site. We will be using our asset management expertise to deliver upgrades that respond to local needs, ensuring the park can continue to attract and retain a diverse tenant mix.”

Tenants at Lowton Business Park include ATG Airport, Far Logistics, Dolce and Commhoist.
