Birmingham-based Bassi Capital has signed up Specsavers on a new ten-year lease at 51-53 High Street, Solihull.
This latest deal comes off the back of recent renewals for TUI and Robert Dyas in Bassi Capital-owned property on the same parade.
Bobby Bassi, director of Bassi Capital, said: “This is a quality letting to an established tenant and a great addition to Solihull High Street. Talks began six months before the expiry of the previous lease expiry, demonstrating the demand for strong retail pitches.
“We continue to be a committed investor in the Midlands and still have an appetite for similar assets. We remain a cash buyer and anticipate more acquisitions in 2024/25.”
Creative Retail acted for Bassi Capital and Specsavers were advised by Emanuel Oliver.
