拢400m deal to sell seven Hammerson 海角视频 retail parks to Orion European Real Estate collapses

The deal included parks in Middlesbrough, Falkirk, Rugby and St Helens - and would have been the biggest of its type in a decade

Ravenshead Retail Park in St Helens

A £400m deal to sell seven retail parks across the 海角视频 has collapsed after a private equity buyer pulled out.

Retail landlord Orion European Real Estate told Hammerson last month that it did not plan to complete acquisition.

Hammerson, which owns the Bullring in Birmingham, had agreed to sell retail parks including those in Middlesbrough, Falkirk, Rugby and St Helens as part of the deal. 

Hammerson and Orion exchanged unconditional contracts confirming the sale on February 20, PA reports.

However, Hammerson said it agreed to the cancellation and will therefore receive £21m which had been held as a deposit for the deal.

The transaction would have been the largest sale of 海角视频 retail parks in a decade but was severely disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic which has resulted in the shutdown of all non-essential retailers.

It is a blow to Hammerson’s attempts to exit the retail park category in order to focus on its portfolio of flagship sites.
