Orchard Street Investment Management has deployed £200m for its second Impact Fund within six months of launch.
We have advised leading specialist commercial property investment manager, Orchard Street Investment Management LLP, on a series of acquisitions for its UK Decarbonisation Impact Fund.
The second of its impact funds, the Fund is focused on generating strong financial returns, combining income resilience and delivering measurable environmental outcomes through the remediation, decarbonisation, and repositioning of assets across the UK.
Within the first six months since the launch of the Fund, it has assembled a portfolio of six assets comprising four prime multi-let industrial estates and two dominant regional retail warehouse parks in £200m of high-quality acquisitions, most of which were off market.
Using Orchard Street Investment Management’s proprietary Impact Framework, our team will support the undertaking of extensive decarbonisation initiatives including solar PV installation, EV charging infrastructure, electrification and targeted improvements to EPC ratings, as well as wider social benefits through biodiversity enhancements and growth of green construction skills.
The team was led by partner Jo Davies and supported by principal associates Frances Iwaschkin, Emma Purton and Chris Warenius and associate Emma Clarke, alongside others in our built environment, planning, construction, environmental and tax teams.
Our extensive experience in supporting clients with complex, impact-focused real estate investments builds on the work of our ESG practice, helping to deliver long-term value for investors through the environmental future-proofing of property assets.
