Notes to Editors: About British Land British Land is one of Europe‟s largest Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) with total assets, owned or managed, of £14.9 billion (British Land share £9.6 billion), as valued at 31 March 2011. Through our property and finance expertise we attract experienced partners to create properties and environments which are home to over 1,000 different organisations and visited by over 250 million people each year. Our property portfolio is focused on prime retail locations and Central London offices which attract high quality occupiers committed to long leases. Our occupancy rate of 97.8% and average lease length of 11.5 years are among the highest of the major UK REITs. Retail assets account for 66% of our portfolio, around 80% of which are located at prime out-of-town sites. Comprising some 27 million sq ft of retail space across 90 retail warehouse properties, 99 superstores, 12 shopping centres and 10 department stores, the retail portfolio is generally modern, flexible and adaptable to a wide range of formats. Active asset management delivers the attractive space to both retailers and consumers. London offices, located in the City and West End, comprise 32% of the portfolio (rising to an estimated 37% on completion of current development). 7 million sq ft of office space includes Broadgate, the premier City office campus (50% share) and Regent‟s Place in the West End. We are also investing £1.1 billion to create Central London‟s largest committed office development programme which will deliver 2.2 million sq ft of high quality space by 2014, including a 700,000 sq ft building at 5 Broadgate, the 610,000 sq ft Leadenhall Building in London‟s insurance district and the 500,000 sq ft NEQ building at Regent‟s Place. Our size and substance demands a responsible approach to business and we focus on five areas which matter most to us and our key stakeholders: managing buildings efficiently; developing sustainable buildings; enhancing biodiversity, exceeding customers‟ expectations and focusing on local communities. We believe leadership on issues such as sustainability helps drive our performance and is core to our corporate aim of building the best REIT in Europe. Further details can be found on the British Land website at www.britishland.com 3 Year ended 31 March 2011 CHAIRMAN’S LETTER At British Land, we are facing the future with confidence. Our London office portfolio comprises modern, flexible buildings that meet evolving occupier needs and we own some of the best retail assets in the UK, where consumers want to shop and retailers trade efficiently and profitably. While, as a nation, we have moved from ‟Recession‟ to the „Age of Austerity‟, consumers are still shopping and good businesses are looking to grow. British Land has been well served by the quality, location and sustainability of our portfolio. Concentrated leasing activity across our portfolio, a decisive and significant commitment to Central London office development, and a series of retail acquisitions, all contributed to a strong performance over an active year as we delivered improvements throughout our business. We continued to see a good recovery in the value of our assets and achieved rental growth with continued demand for space from key retailers and office occupiers. We reported very pleasing results for the year to 31 March 2011. Underlying pre-tax profits at £256 million were 9.9% up excluding a credit provision release in 2009. The value of our property portfolio increased by 6.9% to £9.6 billion with NAV per share up by 12.5% to 567 pence. The Board is proposing a fourth quarter dividend of 6.5 pence, bringing the total dividend per share for the full year to 26 pence, and representing a 91% payout in respect of underlying earnings.

  • Height Vs. History Tall Buildings in the Heart of London Controversy Over Tall Buildings in Central London Is Not a Recent Phenomenon
    Height vs. history Tall buildings in the heart of London Controversy over tall buildings in central London is not a recent phenomenon. Peter Stewart explains how heated debates on the issue began as long ago as the late nineteenth century. The proposal for a 250m (820ft) tall residential France, Westminster, completed in 1888 (demolished tower to be built next to Paddington Station – in 1973). Crude and joyless in its design, it was the ‘Paddington Pole’ – is the latest in a line of considerably taller than any other London residential controversial tall-building projects to come forward in building at the time and prompted widespread central London over the last two decades.

  • Case-Studies in Topology Optimisation of Bracing Systems ROBERT BALDOCK
    STRUCTURAL OPTIMISATION IN BUILDING DESIGN PRACTICE : CASE -STUDIES IN TOPOLOGY OPTIMISATION OF BRACING SYSTEMS Robert Baldock Corpus Christi College June 2007 A dissertation submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Cambridge University Engineering Department Declaration Except where otherwise stated, this thesis is the result of my own research and does not include the outcome of work done in collaboration. This thesis has not been submitted in whole or in part for consideration for any other degree of qualification at the University or any other institute of learning. The thesis contains 49 figure, 14 tables and less than 42,000 words. Robert Baldock Corpus Christi College Cambridge June 2007 Abstract Keywords: structural topology optimisation, structural design practice, bracing design, Evolutionary Structural Optimisation, Pattern Search, Optimality Criteria, Genetic Programming, computer-aided design, large-scale structural size optimisation This thesis aims to contribute to the reduction of the significant gap between the state- of-the-art of structural design optimisation in research and its practical application in the building industry. The research has focused on structural topology optimisation, investigating three distinct methods through the common example of bracing design for lateral stability of steel building frameworks. The research objective has been aided by collaboration with structural designers at Arup. It is shown how Evolutionary Structural Optimisation can be adapted to improve applicability to practical bracing design problems by considering symmetry constraints, rules for element removal and addition, as well as the definition of element groups to enable inclusion of aesthetic requirements. Size optimisation is added in the optimisation method to improve global optimality of solutions.
