Industrial Asset Divestment
Divestment is a programme, not a single sale. BigSpace helps corporates and investors decide which industrial assets to release, in what sequence and through which route — outright sale, sale and leaseback, or development partnership — and then runs each transaction so the programme lands on plan.
Who This Service Is For
- Corporates restructuring or exiting a business line
- Groups with surplus land from historic operations
- Funds winding down a portfolio
How We Work
Requirement assessment
Investment thesis, target yield, holding period, asset class and geography, and the covenant quality you will accept.
Sourcing & shortlist
Published stock plus the off-market pool — developers, landlords, occupiers exiting or assigning — filtered against the brief.
Evaluation & due diligence
Title, tenancy, lease terms, income verification, approvals and physical condition — underwritten before an offer.
Commercial comparison
A like-for-like matrix of total occupancy or acquisition cost, not headline rate.
Negotiation & transaction
Terms benchmarked against comparable deals actually closed, then documentation and registration coordinated to completion.
After-sales support
A named advisor stays on the account: handover, renewals, expansion, disputes and an annual review.
What We Evaluate
- Portfolio-level value against asset-by-asset value
- Encumbrances, statutory dues and workforce considerations
- Highest-and-best use for each asset
- Sequencing to avoid flooding one micro-market
- Tax-efficient structuring with your advisors
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a portfolio sale better than asset-by-asset?
Occasionally, for an institutional buyer; usually a mixed route — a portfolio of the income assets, individual sales of the rest — achieves more. The analysis decides.
Can operations continue during divestment?
Yes, through sale and leaseback or staged handover, both of which we structure and negotiate.
How do you value surplus land?
On its highest-and-best use under current zoning, tested against what developers are actually paying nearby, not on the book value.
