The Lancasters update
Β
The Company announced, inter alia, on 5 December 2013 that it was in advanced discussions to acquire Minerva's interest in Lancaster Gate (Hyde Park) Limited, the company established by Northacre and Minerva as a joint venture to acquire, manage and develop The Lancasters.
Β
This development reached practical completion in November 2011 and the last apartment at The Lancasters was sold this year. Northacre has now paid a total consideration of Β£6,182,000 to acquire Minerva's interest. In return, Northacre will have full ownership and receive all future dividend distributions whilst continuing to manage the on-going snagging process.
Β
This development has been a seven year process and to realise a product of such quality is a source of pride to the Group. This project has proved to be an excellent long term investment. It has been a great partnership with Minerva and both partners are very proud to have taken part in such a prestigious London development.
Β
As set out in the announcement of 5 December the purchase of Minerva's stake and taking on the snagging process is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's operations or financial performance.
