BCSC 2010: LandSec set to buy Dundee’s Overgate centre

 

Land Securities is in pole position to buy the Overgate shopping centre in Dundee for close to £140m – a sub 7% yield, EGi News has learnt.


The REIT has beaten competing bids believed to have been tabled by Hammerson, British Land with Matterhorn Palos, and Meyer Bergman for the 420,000 sq ft shopping centre.


The Lend Lease Overgate Partnership put the centre on the market in September. The partnership fund came to the end of its life on 31 October.


The 70-unit scheme is anchored by a 105,000 sq ft Debenhams. Other tenants include Topshop, H&M, Primark and Gap.


Jones Lang LaSalle advises the partnership; Cushman & Wakefield advises Land Securities.
