Within this, the £7.3 million in managed office leases are 8.3% ahead of ERV, and the £1.6 million of retail leases are 12% ahead. For the first nine months of Great Portland’s financial year, which ends March 31, 60 new leases are signed for £46.5 million in annual rent, with £45.4 million as the company’s share. These are 7.5% ahead of ERV, with offices 7.4% ahead and retail 8.8% ahead. Turning to the fourth quarter, Great Portland has signed a further £900,000 worth of leases since January 1.

Chief Executive Toby Courtauld says Great Portland is on track for ‘an exceptional leasing year’. ‘Whilst current global macro-economic conditions are unpredictable, we head into the final quarter with positive momentum.
