Capital Industrial

What Capital Industrial does

Capital Industrial is a privately-held UK commercial real estate company founded in 2013 by Roger Montaut and Nick Stearns, focused on the ownership, leasing and management of light industrial and studio properties in Greater London. The company operates as the largest owner of industrial units by number in Greater London, holding over 1,250 lettable spaces totaling approximately 3.4 million sq ft, with more than 2 million sq ft located within a 10-mile radius of Buckingham Palace. Its portfolio spans multi-let industrial estates (Havelock Terrace, Leyton Industrial Village, St Marks, Epsom Business Park, Bounds Green, Falcon Court, T Marchant, Stone, Windsor Park, Sutton, Wates Way, Barratt, Canterbury, Leyton Business Centre), single-occupier logistics (Switch 74 in Enfield), and a Capital Studios sub-brand serving artists and creative users with over 50 makers housed.

The business model is a recurring monthly rental subscription, with rents quoted per calendar month plus VAT and units ranging from roughly £917 pcm for small studios to over £36,000 pcm for larger warehouses and logistics spaces of up to 60,000 sq ft. Go-to-market is direct-to-occupier through a website with property search functionality, phone enquiries, and a team of dedicated asset managers and property managers who conduct viewings and manage tenant relationships; no intermediary agents or resellers are used. Customer segments are horizontal: light manufacturers, food producers, distributors, contractors, logistics operators, and creative businesses across 39 industries, served by 1,000+ tenants including anchor enterprise occupiers such as Dnata/Alpha LSG at Heston Centre.

Recent strategic activity has centered on programmatic bolt-on acquisitions (Hieratica Works in July 2024, Epsom Business Park units in September 2025, St Marks Industrial Estate in November 2025, Avro & Hewlett House in March 2026) and high-spec redevelopments (Switch 74, a 68,211 sq ft net-zero / EPC A+ urban logistics unit in Enfield completed May 2025; Block F at Bounds Green completed October 2025). There is no proprietary technology platform or AI/ML capability documented, and the company operates as a traditional asset-management-led real estate owner with a multi-entity group structure (Capital Industrial LLP, Capital Industrial Properties LLP, Capital Industrial PLC, and Holdings 2 Limited plus numbered SPVs Capital Industrial 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 Limited) under the Capital Industrial Holdings Group.

Direct peers

• Bericote: UK industrial and logistics property company. Comparable on industrial asset ownership and active development pipeline, though typically larger single-tenant logistics builds.

• Tritax Big Box REIT: UK-listed REIT focused on 'Big Box' logistics and industrial warehousing. Comparable product category, though Capital Industrial's multi-let small/medium-unit profile differs from Tritax's large-format focus.
