🇬🇧 Federated Hermes puts £400 million Milton Park stake up for sale
Federated Hermes has appointed CBRE to sell a 50 per cent stake in Milton Park, a 122-hectare freehold science park near Didcot, the first time it has been openly marketed since 1984.
The stake, believed to be the BT Pension Scheme's, represents about £400 million of the park's £800 million total enterprise value, as estimated by CBRE.
CPP Investments owns the other half, which it bought from Hermes for about £200 million in 2017.
The park has about 269,000 sq m in 87 buildings, including 59,000 sq m of laboratories, and about 280 occupiers.
In October 2025, Barings, with HSBC UK, provided a five-year £376 million loan.
