It is intended to inform the ECUTI continuing development of the UCL East vision and to provide a baseline EX for monitoring the future impact of UCL East on existing cultural resources around the Olympic Park. It is also in line with new Mayoral and GLA initiatives to map effectively and protect London’s cultural infrastructure, as one of the city’s most important assets. We hope that the findings will be useful to all the organisations involved in the Cultural and Education District being developed in the Olympic Park as part of the regeneration of the wider area.

  • Valuation Report
    VALUATION REPORT Westfield Stratford City London On behalf of Stratford City Shopping Centre (No. 1) Limited Partnership Valuation Date: 28 May 2014 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2 VALUATION REPORT 3 PROPERTY REPORT 4 APPENDICES 5 LETTER OF ENGAGEMENT 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Executive Summary WESTFIELD STRATFORD CITY The Property • Prime shopping centre completed in 2011 within a major regeneration area of East London. • Anchored by John Lewis and M&S, supplemented by a wide range of fashion multiples and complemented by an extensive leisure and dining offer which includes a casino, cinema and gym. • Westfield Stratford is the largest urban shopping and leisure destination in Europe. Tenancies and Covenant Strength The Property offers an expected income weighted unexpired term of approximately 12 years 6 months (6 years 8 months to nearest break); this is considered good and is representative of a prime shopping centre. Within our valuation and calculation of the weighted average unexpired lease term, we have reflected planned asset management initiatives including four proposed lease surrenders and new lettings. In addition, a small number of leases contain rolling break options where such leases could be determined at any time; we have forecast when such leases will be determined. There is only a small percentage of income expiring within the next two years, most of which relates to short term leases, principally on The Street. Over 40% of the passing rent expires within 5 years, on account of the number of break clauses falling within this timescale. We consider the prospects for re-letting are good, given the strong trading performance of brands inside the centre and the low level of vacancy.
