The planned Westfield shopping centre in Stratford, east London, is to be part sold to a new fund backed by some of the world’s largest property investors.
The £1.5 billion mall, which forms the gateway to the 2012 London Olympics, is owned by Australian retail developer Westfield. Upon completion towards the end of next year, it will be the second largest shopping centre in the UK – at 1.9 million square metres - after Westfield at White City.
Westfield is currently in 'advanced talks' to sell a stake of as much as £750 million to the fund, which is being set up by Henderson Global Investors and will create a structure open to a group of major clients.
If the deal goes ahead, it will reduce the risk of development for Westfield, which is out on a limb in a tough financial climate – something which has stopped rival's projects.
Westfield Stratford will comprise 300 retail shops, including John Lewis and Waitrose, alongside a Vue cinema, 1.1 million square foot of office space and two hotels. The shopping centre is tipped to open in September next year.
Westfield is also reportedly considering restarting work on certain other UK schemes, potentially with investment partners to share the risk.
This is a unique opportunity to acquire two well-established B2B companies operating across multiple sectors throughout the UK, boasting strong client relationships and secure contracted revenues poised for further expansion.
LEASEHOLD
This is a unique opportunity to acquire a prominent company in a specialist sector with a high barrier to entry, offering integration potential and a cash-generative model with repeat revenue.
This business presents an enticing opportunity with established relationships with blue-chip organisations globally, a strong client retention rate, and the potential for relocation.
