ASX Announcement
Lend Lease agrees to sell stake in Greenwich Peninsula Regeneration project
18 June 2012
Lend Lease today announced a conditional sale of its stake in Greenwich Peninsula Regeneration Limited to Quintain Estates and Developments PLC (QED).
The transaction is conditional on the approval of a QED shareholder vote next month.
Lend Lease secured the development rights to the 80 hectare Greenwich Peninsula regeneration site under an agreement with the then Urban Regeneration Agency (which is now part of the Greater London Authority) in partnership with QED in 2002.
If the transaction successfully completes, Lend Lease expects to receive cash proceeds of circa ₤100 million. Lend Lease expects to book a profit of circa ₤25 million on the sale, net of tax and other costs. Profit and settlement will not occur until second half calendar 2012.
In line with the Group’s portfolio strategy, the proceeds received will be reinvested in its strong pipeline of urban regeneration opportunities in the United Kingdom including Elephant & Castle and The International Quarter, Stratford.
