Big Yellow - Disposal to recycle into a dozen 17% Yielding Developments (Jefferies)

BYG has sold its Harrow, London, industrial estate for £38.4m, with £2m retained pending•

to fund 11 new stores and one replacement store on Group-owned land. The 12 pipeline

stores are projected to yield £35m net operating income, a 16.5% return on the £212m

completion cost. The Board sees no alternative capital use that matches these long-term
