AEW UK REIT plc has purchased the 48,158 sq m Central Six Retail Park in Coventry in the West Midlands (UK) for a price of £16,411,000.

The park is located at a strategic and central location, approximately one kilometer away from Coventry city center and adjacent to Coventry Railway Station and the Friargate Regeneration area. The purchase price reflects a net initial yield of circa 11%, with an anticipated reversionary yield of circa 12.5%.
