Occupation<br />

- Tenures -<br />

British Land and Oxford formed a joint venture in 2010 and<br />

together developed the <strong>Leadenhall</strong> Building. British Land owned<br />

the P&O Tower (Peninsular and Oriental), which was occupying<br />

the site before the <strong>Leadenhall</strong>. The project was initially delayed<br />

by the financial crisis but was revived in 2010 when Oxford Properties<br />

joined the development efforts.<br />

Paul Brundage, Executive Vice President, Senior Managing Di-<br />

rector Europe of Oxford Properties said: “We are delighted to be<br />

partnering with British Land on the <strong>Leadenhall</strong> project. In terms<br />

of both strategy and approach British Land is strongly aligned<br />

with Oxford Properties’ own objectives, making us well placed<br />

as partners […]. In investment terms, this project […] is further<br />

evidence of our long-term commitment to, and confidence in,<br />

the London market.“<br />

British Land is one of Europe‘s largest Real Estate Investment<br />

Trust (REITs). Its portfolio includes commercial, retail and residential<br />

assets and is worth £19.7bn.<br />

Oxford Properties, established in 1960, is a global real estate owner,<br />

investor, developer and property manager with a portfolio<br />

of office, retail, multi-residential and hotel assets. Their Europe<br />

Portfolio is worth £4bn.<br />
