Eldridge Real Estate Credit and Hillwood today announced the provision of two debt facilities for the development and construction of industrial units in Swanley and Park Royal, UK. These transactions total over £57.6 million, and they mark the second and third financings between Hillwood and Eldridge Real Estate Credit.

Eldridge Real Estate Credit is a leading investor in real estate credit opportunities throughout the US, UK, and Europe, including construction, bridge, and special situation opportunities across the capital structure. These financings follow a £33 million facility completed in April 2024 for an industrial storage facility in Crewe, UK, bringing total financing with Hillwood to over £90 million.

The loans include a £28.7 million facility for the development of a 162,000 sq ft multi-unit industrial scheme in Swanley, located on an 11.5-acre site with direct access to the M25 and M20. The site also benefits from close proximity to Greater London. A separate £28.6 million facility will be for the development of a 70,000 sq ft logistics unit in Park Royal, one of London’s most established industrial locations.

“For over two decades Hillwood has served as a best-in-class industrial developer, and we look forward to deepening our partnership with them,” said John Cole, Global Head of Real Estate Credit, Eldridge Capital Management. “This transaction brings our total lending within the industrial-logistics market to over two million square feet across the UK and Europe, and we believe we are well-positioned to continue to expand this footprint.”

“We are pleased to again work with Eldridge Real Estate Credit to bring these exciting projects to life,” said Armin Senoran, Director - EU Debt Markets at Hillwood. “Swanley and Park Royal are strategic locations within our UK portfolio, and we believe these developments will deliver critical high-quality industrial space to two thriving markets.”

Both developments are speculative, and construction is expected to be completed in early 2026.
