Europa secures £89m green loan from HSBC UK
Developed in partnership with logistics developer Panattoni, the assets are occupied with long-term lettings agreed with strong occupiers from across the e-commerce, pharmaceutical and automotive sectors.
The first site, Panattoni Park South Normanton, is a 575,000 sq ft facility within an established logistics hub in the East Midlands. With quick access to the motorway network and key regional routes, it offers strong connectivity across the wider Midlands area, including Birmingham, Derby and Nottingham.
The second site, Panattoni Park Rotherham, comprises 710,000 sq ft of space and is positioned within the M1-M18 triangle. This strategic location provides excellent connectivity, with the park acting as a national distribution centre for the anchor occupier, as well as providing access to key northern markets such as Leeds and Manchester, and enabling last-mile delivery into the Sheffield region.
Both sites also boast strong sustainability credentials, including an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Rating A and a BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) ‘Very Good’ certification, demonstrating their energy efficiency and environmental performance.
James Keast, Director at Europa Capital, said: “This financing underlines the sustained lender interest in well-located, high-quality UK logistics assets, particularly those with strong sustainability credentials. Securing this financing following the development and stabilisation of these assets is an endorsement of our strategy and reflects our long-standing relationship with HSBC UK. Together with HSBC UK, we have secured a facility that supports stable, long-term income while allowing us to maintain capital discipline.”
Alfie Banks, Relationship Director at HSBC UK, added: “We are pleased to have supported Europa with financing for these high-quality logistics assets. This funding demonstrates our commitment to backing ambitious real estate investors in the UK logistics sector. We have developed a strong relationship with Europa and look forward to building on this in the future.”
