PALM BEACH, Fla. (Jan. 23, 2025) – Forum Partners, a global real estate investment and asset
management firm, recently completed fundraising for its latest fund. The fund, Newlands Development
Opportunities I, LLC, had $12 million in total commitments, fully meeting the project’s needs.
Forum and its portfolio company, Newlands Property Group, Ltd., intend to utilize the proceeds to
provide working capital to acquire an entitled industrial development site known as Newlands Park
Nottingham Gateway, located within the United Kingdom’s premier Golden Triangle logistics corridor.
“There is strong investor appetite to capitalize on significant secular tailwinds benefitting the logistics
industry in the U.K.,” said David Keir, chairman of Newlands Property Group. “Newlands Park
Nottingham Gateway is the first of three prime industrial and logistics projects in our landbank that we
expect will provide both development and long-term hold investment opportunities.”
Located near Junction 24A of the M1 Motorway, the site ensures unparalleled access to the U.K.’s
extensive road network and provides access to 85% of the mainland British population within a four-
hour drive. Newlands has secured planning commission approval to develop four buildings totaling
834,000 square feet, with a range of unit sizes.
Newlands is a specialist industrial and logistics developer with a well-known reputation and a long
history of success for delivering high-quality, industrial and logistics developments in supply-constrained
markets.
The Newlands team’s expertise centers on identifying strategically located, unimproved land and taking
large-scale, often complex developments through the planning, entitlement and development process
to deliver best-in-class industrial and logistics facilities that meet the needs of top-tier logistics,
transport, e-commerce, and other high-quality tenants.
