Toronto, Ontario, January 29,2021 – GreenBank Capital Inc. (CSE: GBC and OTCMKTS: GRNBF and FRA: 2TL) (“GreenBank” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that its portfolio company Staminier Limited (“Staminier”) has signed an option to acquire 15 acres of land near the North Terminal of London Gatwick Airport, close to the M23 Motorway and a key transport hub.
Demand for storage facilities in the United Kingdom from the likes of Amazon and other online retailers has soared in recent years and is expected to continue to do so.
Staminier has acquired a three-year option to purchase the land for C$5.22m. In the event that Staminier obtains planning permission to build a modern logistics hub on the 15 acre site, the value of the 15 acres is likely to far exceed the C$5.22m option price.
Steve O’Carroll, director of Staminier said “This 15 acre site, added to our existing 13 acre land option near the important London Gatwick Airport transport hub, has the potential to position Staminier as an influential owner of land that could potentially ideally suit the growing storage demand from the online retail giants.”
David Lonsdale, CEO of GreenBank, said “We are delighted that Staminier has been able to acquire this potentially highly valuable land option which further delivers against GreenBank’s previously stated six key drivers of value.”
As previously disclosed, GreenBank currently owns 19% of Staminier Limited and possesses an option to acquire the remaining 81% of the Staminier until February 14, 2021 subject to regulatory approval.
