Investec funds Bridgewater Point, Trafford Park for Northwood and Chancerygate
- New facility refinances existing development loan for prime 16-unitTrafford Park scheme
- Investec completed £922 million of new lending in FY 2025/26, £219 million of which focused on the industrial sector
Investec Bank plc ("Investec"), a leading international bank and wealth manager, today announces that its Real Estate team has provided Northwood Investors and Chancerygate with a term loan to refinance the existing development facility secured against Bridgewater Point, a newly constructed freehold urban logistics scheme in Trafford Park, Manchester.
The transaction reflects Investec Real Estate’s continued appetite to provide tailored debt capital to commercial real estate clients. In the last three financial years, the business completed £955m of development lending and £1.53 billion of investment financing, demonstrating its ability to support clients through flexible capital solutions, larger loan sizes and execution certainty.
Bridgewater Point is located in Trafford Park, one of the UK’s leading industrial and logistics locations and a key distribution hub for Manchester and the North West. The 130,000 sq ft scheme benefits from a high specification and has achieved EPC A and BREEAM Very Good ratings. Local market fundamentals include limited comparable new development as well as plateauing vacancy levels and a strong uptick in occupier enquiries.
Alice Harman, Investec Real Estate, said:
“Bridgewater Point is a top quality and well-located urban logistics asset in Trafford Park, where the local market is supported by limited comparable new supply and improving occupier enquiry levels. Northwood and Chancerygate required a financing partner that understood the asset, the leasing strategy and the need for a facility aligned to a defined stabilisation plan to which the borrower is already outperforming.
“The transaction reflects Investec’s appetite to support experienced real estate clients with tailored capital through different points in the market cycle. It was a pleasure to work with the experience of the Northwood team, a relationship to which we hope to expand.”
This transaction adds to Investec Real Estate’s recent lending activity in the industrial and logistics sector. Recent transactions include a £135 million facility to refinance two major logistics assets in Stowmarket and Avonmouth for CDS Superstores Limited, an £11 million loan to Kennedy Wilson for the acquisition and repositioning of a prime South London industrial outdoor storage site, and a £28 million loan to Hillwood for a prime Northamptonshire logistics development.
