This is looking very good lately and has risen quite a bit day on day recently. Very large abnormal volume on Tuesday (yesterday). They traded 1.3M compared to a couple of hundred thousand on a good day. The resut was a nice rise in price. They are fast approaching a break out position above the next resistance level. This will then put them on historic highs. It has quite a spectacular chart.There was this recent news item a couple of days ago. They always have very large development projects on the go. I think this is going to fly now. I suspect another announcement is on the way:- 31/10/03 17:12 LONDON (AFX) - Quintain Estates & Development PLC said it has today submitted an outline planning application to the offices of Brent Council comprising detailed plans for the regeneration of 42 acres at Wembley, London. Quintain owns 56 acres of land in Wembley surrounding, but not including, the National Stadium. Designed by Richard Rogers Partnership, the planning application submitted today proposes 'a spectacular setting' for the National Stadium and the delivery of thousands of new homes and jobs, with greatly improved local facilities and new areas of open space, Quintain said.

Moving ahead very nicely. Shame I don't hold.

Well done to those in this - just to show its about timing :-

There was heavy trading in Quintain Estates & Development where over 21.7m shares changed hands after Charles Stanley bought a chunk of stock for a client. That sparked talk that someone might be looking to amass a stake in the company. However, traders noted that Laxey, the activist investor, owns a 5.7 per cent stake in Quintain.

Separately, Matrix raised its target price on the property developer to 81p saying that a re-rating was finally in sight.

We believe any/all of the three transactions being concluded will help the forward sale of the student accommodation at Wembley, securing a joint venture partner for the Hilton Hotel and, most importantly, in our view, securing a partner for the London Designer Outlet Centre (heads of terms agreed), said analyst Miranda Cockburn.

Fantastic news for QED......

10 June 2011



Quintain Estates and Development PLC

("Quintain" / Company" / "Group")



Sale of Wembley Student Accommodation to

Keystone & Partners Real Estate S.A. ("Keystone")



Quintain announces it has entered into a forward commitment with Keystone for the development of the 660-bed student accommodation at Wembley City on a plot of land adjacent to Wembley Stadium. Keystone will purchase a long leasehold interest in the land of 251 years for a total consideration of 14.5m. In a separate development agreement, Keystone will make a further payment totalling 38.5m to Quintain, following practical completion of the building, which is expected to be in the summer of 2012.



Separately, Real Partners S.A. has agreed the purchase of five self-contained three-bedroom residential units, which form part of the development, for a total consideration of 1.5m. On practical completion of the building, Keystone and Real Partners S.A. will pay Quintain modest annual index-linked ground rents.



Commenting, Adrian Wyatt, Quintain's CEO said "This is great news for Wembley City and also marks the early achievement of one of our key milestones in the current financial year. Through this agreement we have not only retained an interest in the site and the management of the asset, but also demonstrated that Wembley City offers attractive opportunities for investors, at a price which supports our underlying land value assumptions.



"Furthermore, by bringing a substantial number of people to live at the scheme it will add to the growing vibrancy around Wembley City and support our other commercial activities in the area."



Giorgio Laurenti, Chairman of Keystone Group, a Swiss based real estate development company with offices in Wollerau, London and Luxembourg added: "We are delighted to take this opportunity as a starting point for our student accommodation initiative in the UK. We strongly believe in Wembley City as an attractive and vibrant location for students due to its proximity to reputable universities, the Civic Centre and its ability to offer students new modern housing, entertainment facilities and real job opportunities."



The student accommodation forms part of Quintain's Wembley City 8m sq ft regeneration project and lies adjacent to Wembley Stadium and Quintain's Hilton Hotel development.



Quintain has agreed terms with the University of Westminster for a nominations agreement over 481 bedrooms 'clustered' into 80 six en-suite bedroom units with shared kitchen/living areas. The student accommodation is located between the University of Westminster's Harrow and Marylebone campuses. The balance of the accommodation comprises 179 one-bedroom studio apartments. Quintain will manage the student accommodation on behalf of Keystone.



As at 31 March 2011, the land and buildings under construction were valued in Quintain's accounts at 21.1m. Based on the sums due from Keystone and Real Partners totalling 54.5m, Quintain estimates that it will achieve a surplus over the March valuation of some 3.5m and a surplus of 5.2m over cost.



The agreement with Keystone is through Quintain's subsidiary company Quintain W05 (Groundlease) Limited. Real Partners SA is a related party to Keystone.

A bowl, a saucer, either way a return to 100p plus can be expected on a 3 month view at QED. One of the charts of the year

Liberum note out today:
"We are pleased to read QED reporting, as flagged, the sale of one block of its student accommodation in Wembley.

We wrote in our initiations in March (Developers: opaque and out of favour, Re-appraise early!) that share price progress should result fromproving elements of the Wembley and Greenwich site valuations. Prelims (May) subsequently reminded the Market that four such transactions were imminent: the student accommodation sale (announced today), sale of the Hilton Hotel (in the same block / W05), crystallising value at the London Designer Outlet (in a JV), and reporting the final price of the second land sale to Bellway (?) at Greenwich, in the South East.

The shares have risen 34% since then, and we expect the rest of this newsflow in 2011.

In addition, well-known activist investor, Laxey Partners presence on the shareholder list, has helped highlight value in QED shares. Yesterday Laxey near-doubled their stake to 10.4% (from 5.8%). "

Excelent post Harry.

Bit of a pullback from this morning. Too far, too fast or just friday afternoon profit taking? Good volume at 2.6m.

Upward trend resumed?
