Project
Eddisons has recently exchanged contracts on the acquisition of the freehold interest at 155 Humberstone Lane, Thurmaston, Leicester. A substantial 10.573-acre industrial site is impressive alone but being strategically positioned within one of Leicester’s most established industrial locations created a perfect marketing opportunity.
Acting on behalf of a local family-owned manufacturing business, the acquisition marks a major step in the company’s continued growth and operational consolidation across the region.
The client’s objective was to identify and secure a property capable of housing their expanding operations under one roof, thereby improving logistical efficiency and supporting future development potential.
Approach
Our Commercial Agency team undertook a detailed site search and feasibility analysis across the Leicester area, prioritising connectivity, infrastructure and long-term adaptability. The site at Humberstone Lane offered significant advantages, including proximity to key transport routes such as the A607 and A46, and the availability of large-scale industrial accommodation suitable for flexible manufacturing, storage and distribution.
Once identified, we carried out a comprehensive acquisition process on behalf of the client including negotiating terms, conducting due diligence and ensuring a smooth transaction through to exchange of contracts. The firm’s understanding of local market conditions, combined with strong relationships with vendors and agents, allowed Eddisons to secure the site at competitive terms whilst meeting the client’s timescale and budget.
Results
The acquisition of 55 Humberstone Lane has provided the client with an exceptional opportunity to streamline manufacturing, packaging and distribution within a single, well-connected facility.
The consolidation will enhance operational efficiency, reduce transport costs, and future-proof the business by providing room for expansion on site.
Through strategic advice, market insight and careful negotiation, Eddisons successfully delivered a transaction that strengthens both the client’s operational base and Leicester’s industrial landscape.
