Simonside Industrial Estate, South Shields

Client: Kans and Kandy Property

Occupier: DHL

Location: Simonside Industrial Estate, South Shields

The Brief

Kans and Kandy Property appointed Naylors to secure a high-quality occupier for their 100,000 sq. ft industrial/warehouse unit at Simonside Industrial Estate following a multi-million-pound refurbishment with a clear objective: identify a quality tenant with excellent covenant quality and enhance long-term investment performance.

Our Approach

We undertook a focused review of current industrial supply across South Tyneside, identifying sustained demand from logistics and last-mile distribution operators seeking well-located facilities with strong access and yard provision.

Rather than relying solely on open marketing, we engaged directly with targeted national occupiers active in the North East. This proactive strategy generated early interest and enabled us to negotiate robust terms aligned with the landlord’s investment objectives.

 The Outcome

•  Long term lease secured to global operator DHL Supply Chain

•  Strong covenant underpinning income security

•  Enhanced asset profile and long-term value

•  Reinforced Simonside’s position as an established industrial location

This instruction reflects our hands-on, market-led approach to industrial and logistics — combining local intelligence with national occupier relationships to deliver measurable outcomes for our clients.
