Feldberg Capital and Henry Boot have successfully secured a £54 million development loan from BGO to support the launch of their industrial and logistics (I&L) platform, Origin7. The funding will enable the development of Origin’s initial portfolio, consisting of three sites with a combined gross development value (GDV) of approximately £100 million.

Launched in December 2024, Origin7 is a joint venture between Henry Boot’s property development arm, HBD (holding a 25% stake), and Feldberg Capital (75% stake). The platform focuses on delivering next-generation, ESG-compliant industrial and logistics assets across the UK, targeting the mid-box market.

The initial portfolio includes:

  • Spark, Walsall: A 13-acre site with planning for two units totalling 270,000 sq ft (GDV: £53m).
  • Inter, Welwyn Garden City: A 3-acre site with planning for a 71,000 sq ft scheme (GDV: £27m).
  • Ark, Markham Vale: A 9-acre site with planning for four units totalling 107,000 sq ft (GDV: £19m).

Construction across all three sites is set to begin in the first half of 2025, with delivery expected from the second half of the year. The developments will incorporate market-leading ESG credentials, targeting BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC ‘A’ ratings.

The £54m loan reflects BGO’s commitment to supporting transitional and ESG-focused assets. A leading commercial real estate lender in the UK and Europe, BGO specialises in loans ranging from €5 million to €200 million with terms of 1–7 years.

Origin7 has ambitious plans to deliver approximately £1 billion worth of high-quality industrial and logistics schemes across the UK within the next seven years. This funding milestone represents a significant step toward achieving those goals and highlights the platform’s commitment to sustainability and innovation in the industrial and logistics sector.
