May London Office Take-up

Office lettings in central London bounced back to just under 1 million sq ft in May 2011 in new research by Cityoffices. Large lettings to Google and Aon helped underpin the total, together with some stronger letting activity in the West End. A large number of leases were for around five years, illustrating the fluid state of the market. - (16-06-2011)

West End tops ranking

London's West End seems to have become the most expensive office space in the world, according to Knight Frank's latest global real estate research on 105 cities.

The City of London was in 7th place, up from 12th place, with prime office rents of £55 per sq ft. - (04-05-2011)

Canary Wharf raises £1.25bn

Canary Wharf Group, the property developer, issued new debt and increased the level of its asset-backed bonds by £1.25bn this week. The bonds are backed by rental cashflow from the Canary Wharf portfolio of 12 office buildings. Last year Canary Wharf raised £875m through an asset backed deal. On the basis of this deal it would appear that the securitisation of 'trophy' real estate developments has not been affected by the terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre. - (13-02-2002)

City objects to "excessive layers"

At the 'Docklands at 20' conference Judith Mayhew, chair of policy and resources at the Corporation of London, has said that "excessive layers" are undermining the planning process and putting London position as a leading financial centre at risk. She made the point said that planning rules allowed English Heritage and others to delay approvals. Her view is that "Large developments, in the City and elsewhere, need speed and certainty in planning process" and she also seemed to be saying that the power of the Mayor of London and the Secretary of State to over-ride local authority decisions, along with individuals and organisation that "seek to influence" decisions, were unnecessary layers. - (03-10-2001)

Skanska sells to Axa Sun Life

Skanska, the Anglo-Swedish construction group, has sold its last two investment properties in London to AXA Sun Life for just under £91m. The two developments are at Thomas More Square, E1 and 55 King William Street, EC4.

Frederick Wirdenius, President of Skanska's Project Development Europe said: ‘These two sales, which made a profit for Skanska of £34 million, represent the completion of Skanska's divesting of its real estate portfolio in London. It also creates possibilities for continued investments in other attractive growth areas in Europe.’ - (11-05-2001)
