Key London West End landlord Shaftesbury Capital is planning to sell all of its properties in London’s Fitzrovia. And despite the fears surrounding physical retail in recent years, the move underlines the recovery of its core West End properties and its focus on them.
The area north of its main estate in and around Covent Garden and Soho is believed to be worth in excess of £100 million, reported The Times.
In total, Shaftesbury owns about 100,000 sq ft of property in the Fitzrovia area, which is made up of 28 hospitality and leisure units, 11 offices, seven stores and 56 flats.
Agents from CBRE are expected to handle the sale of the assets, according to React News, which first reported Shaftesbury’s intentions.
Most of the buildings are on or near Goodge Street and Charlotte Street. Shaftesbury’s most recent accounts show that the properties are valued at about £118 million and generate £5 million in rent each year.
Ian Hawksworth, Shaftesbury Capital chief executive, said its collection of properties in Fitzrovia “does not meet our investment criteria” as he confirmed that the buildings were up for sale.
What it will do is generate capital that’s likely to provide a boost for the aforementioned retail areas in central London.
The report said the Fitzrovia properties will be the first tranche of a ‘capital recycling’ programme. Not that the core retail neighbourhoods will be ignored when it comes to potential sales. Hawksworth said this month that even in Shaftesbury’s “prime locations” of Carnaby Street, Soho and Covent Garden, “there are assets that we don’t necessarily think are going to meet our investment criteria”.
Shaftesbury Capital was formed by the recent merger of two of the West End’s biggest landlords, Shaftesbury and Capital & Counties. The enlarged group owns £5 billion of stores, offices, flats and hospitality units in London’s key retail and theatre district.
