megilleland Posted May 7, 2014 Report Posted May 7, 2014 I see they have a web site created for OLM on their website here. We are one of Europe’s Largest REITs (Real Estate Investment Trust) and our vision is to be the best and the partner of choice. For us being the best means delivering superior total returns to our shareholders. Says it all. We have total assets in the UK, owned or managed, of £17.1 billion (British Land share £11.2 billion), as valued at 30 September 2013. Our occupancy rate is 97% and average lease length to first break of 11 years. I wonder if these shops will be around in 11 years once they have to pay the business rates. Also notice they own 50% of the TESCO site at Belmont.
