Derwent London is a British-based property investment and development business. It is headquartered in London and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.
History
The business was originally established as the operator of the Derwent Valley Light Railway which opened in 1913.[1] The railway closed in 1981 and in 1984 John Burns used the former operating company, Derwent Valley Holdings, as the vehicle with which to develop his London-based property business. It joined the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Europe index on 31 December 1999 when it was launched, trading under the name Derwent Valley Holdings.[2] In 2007 the company merged with London Merchant Securities plc to form Derwent London.[3] This deal was hailed as "the deal of the decade" by the editor of Property Week.[4] In July 2007 the company converted to a real estate investment trust.[5]
Operations
The Group is organised as one business – property investment and development. At 31 December 2022 its portfolio was valued at £5.3bn.[6]
Fitzrovia portfolio
From the merger with London Merchant Securities the company acquired Шаблон:Convert of property to add to its existing Fitzrovia portfolio. This gave the company about Шаблон:Convert of property over more than 30 sites in Fitzrovia; about one fifth of the company's total portfolio. In November 2009 the company announced plans to transform part of Fitzrovia in central London into a new retail destination with cafes and restaurants.[7][8] The company's plans were criticised in the local paper Fitzrovia News who accused the company of wanting to change the character of the neighbourhood.[9]
In July 2010 the company held an exhibition outlining its proposals for the Saatchi building in Charlotte Street: Fitzrovia News reported that Camden Council had confirmed that the Fitzrovia Partnership was intending to become a Business Improvement District (BID).[10]
The Turnmill Building Farringdon
In 2009 the company's plans to demolish Farringdon's famous Turnmills were turned down by London Borough of Islington after a campaign to save the building by local people. The company wanted to replace the 19th-century stables building with a glass and steel tower block. The company then appealed to the planning inspectorate, but their appeal was refused.[11] Subsequently, a revised planning application was granted approval and work on the new building commenced in April 2012.[12] This will create a 70,000 sq ft office and retail property close to the new Farringdon station Crossrail interchange.[13]
