Clearbell Property Partners II LP (Clearbell), a fund managed by Clearbell Capital, today announces the completion of a lease re-gear on 300,000 sq ft at Brunel Way, in Thetford, Norfolk.

These transactions illustrate the majority of incumbent tenants in this Portfolio are wedded to their accommodation, either through their long-term occupation or their low headline rent.

The Polaris portfolio includes industrial assets, predominantly in the North of England. The portfolio focuses on redeveloping and repositioning industrial assets, to drive tenant occupation.
