Thank you UKREiiF for covering our announcement in today’s newsletter. Blackstar Real Estate Limited and Novara Global Partners have announced the formation of a £100 million joint venture to create a strategic retail property portfolio across the United Kingdom. The newly formed partnership will focus on acquiring shopping malls and town centre retail assets with significant development potential. This collaboration combines Blackstar’s industry-leading expertise in real estate asset management with Novara’s strong capabilities in investments. Together, they aim to seize new opportunities in the retail real estate sector by acquiring and redeveloping properties that may benefit from repositioning or repurposing. The joint venture comes at a pivotal moment for the UK retail property market, which is undergoing substantial transformation. With the rise of e-commerce and changing consumer behaviours, Blackstar and Novara see these shifts as a chance to invest in strategic assets, enhancing their value through active asset management and redevelopment initiatives. The joint venture will prioritise shopping malls and town centre locations, particularly those that may be undervalued or offer potential for alternative uses. While the specific properties targeted by this initiative have not been disclosed, the partnership is expected to move quickly in securing suitable acquisitions for its £100 million portfolio. This strategic move reflects a growing trend of investors seeking value in retail real estate, especially in assets that may have untapped potential for redevelopment. Blackstar and Novara are positioning themselves to be key players in this space, driven by their shared vision of transforming the future of retail properties in the UK. Nathan Spencer - thank you 🙏
