Here’s your daily round-up of the latest news and views from EG. 🛍 Retail investor Redical is frontrunner in the race to buy a stake in one of the best shopping centres in the UK. The firm is under offer to buy a 25% holding in the 850,000 sq ft retail element of St James Quarter in Edinburgh for around £75m. Nuveen, a TIAA company put its stake in the 1.7m sq ft development up for sale in June, alongside the freehold of the 244-bedroom W Edinburgh hotel. 💼 The chairman of The PRS REIT plc has quit so the company can reach a “near-term resolution” with shareholders pushing for his exit. A group of investors had requested a general meeting at which shareholders could vote to remove two of PRS REIT’s five existing independent non-executive directors, chairman Stephen Smith and Steffan Francis. Smith will step down at the REIT’s annual general meeting in December, with Geeta Nanda OBE Nanda, senior independent director, becoming interim chair and leading the appointment process for a new, permanent non-executive chair. 🏗 Harworth Group plc chief executive Lynda Shillaw has urged the government to help the real estate industry and prioritise fixing an under-resourced planning system. In an interview as the developer published its half-year results, Shillaw said resourcing in local authorities remains the most pressing element of planning reform. “The technical complexity of what has to be submitted [in a planning application] has only increased over recent years,” she says. “Things like biodiversity net gain and other aspects of the planning system as it is being reformed mean that planning applications are just more complicated and harder to work through. “Some local authorities manage that process better than others, where they’ve got the depth and experience of resource. It’s often a real challenge for smaller authorities. If you are going to get the planning system working more efficiently, they’ve got to look at resources. They talked about 300 additional planners, but in terms of overall planning resource and capacity it probably needs to be a whole lot more.” 🏢 The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has launched a survey looking at how national planning policy and guidance around the demolition and redevelopment or retrofit of buildings should be updated. London Property Alliance (CPA & WPA) chief executive Charles Begley welcomed the move, saying: “Government has an opportunity to progress its economic growth and sustainability ambitions through the planning system, in turn helping local councils take informed and balanced decisions based on reliable and consistent data.” 🗞 There’s also news on Brookfield Properties’s plans for EG’s home at 99 Bishopsgate; the latest London retail lettings for Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield; and a new London restructuring head at Lambert Smith Hampton.

Here’s your daily round-up of the latest news and views from EG. OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, is close to a deal to establish its first overseas HQ in King’s Cross, just over a year after the company said it had chosen London as the location for its first international office. It is lining up a lease at flex office operator Fora’s York House at 221 Pentonville Road, N1, which EG understands could extend to multiple floors. In Manchester, BNY Corporation has taken the whole of the 200,000 sq ft 4 Angel Square at MEPC Limited’s NOMA. The lease was signed for 10 years at £40 per sq ft. The deal is understood to be the largest in the UK’s regional cities since 2020. NewRiver REIT plc REIT has had its deadline to make a takeover bid for Capital & Regional extended for a fifth time. The company is the only name in the running after Praxis pulled out of the race to buy the shopping centre owner earlier this week. Property players have been paying tribute to Development Securities founder Martin Landau, who has died at 87. Those who knew him described Landau as an “industry doyen”, “a titan”, “a colossus” and “an inspiration”. His son Mark said that, like a chess grandmaster, he “always had a plan for how to move the right pieces at the right time”. There’s also news on abrdn’s latest real estate sale, of the Parkway shopping centre in Newbury; plans to revamp Brick Lane’s historic Truman Brewery; and a hunt for an investment partner for a £25m redevelopment of a Dublin castle. All this and more here. https://lnkd.in/e24y3m8q
