The acquisition was made through the Barwood Regional Property Growth Fund V. Flexiss is acting as the operator and development partner for this portfolio, which aims to re-purpose vacant buildings into modern, energy efficient self-storage assets.
The latest acquisition centres on a vacant 33,592 sq ft former Arnold Clark car showroom on Wheatley Hall Road in Doncaster. The property is located in an established commercial location, one mile to the north-east of the city centre.
Once redeveloped, the Doncaster facility will offer over 60,000 sq ft of state-of-the-art self-storage space arranged over ground and one mezzanine floor, alongside external drive-up units. The plans also target an EPC rating of A.
The purchase follows Barwood’s acquisition in January 2025 in Chester of a former Matalan retail warehouse unit, and an acquisition of the Scott Self Storage Facility in Lincoln in summer 2024.
Mike Wilson & Andy Wood, Co-Founders of Flexiss Group, said:
“We’re excited to move forward with our third site in partnership with Barwood Capital.
Flexiss brings deep operational expertise and development capability to transform this highly visible site into a modern storage facility, and we look forward to future growth with this portfolio.”
Nick Masters, Investment Director at Barwood Capital, said:
“We’re delighted to be working on this scheme, which represents a compelling opportunity for Barwood’s Regional Property Growth Fund V, with our partners at Flexiss. Its location on a key arterial route with significant daily vehicle movements offers exceptional visibility and accessibility in an established commercial zone.
“Importantly, the project aligns with our commitment to sustainability, repurposing an existing building to minimise embodied carbon.
“Doncaster is a major logistics hub, and this acquisition will serve an undersupplied market, helping to drive business growth in the region.”
