ShopStop acquired by private investors for £137 million

1 min read

ShopStop, the retail area of Clapham Junction station, has been acquired by DTZ Investors for £137 million.

The winning bid is said to be 30% above the initial price, which must have been a decisive factor to be chosen by DV4, clients of Delancey, over prestigious interested parties including vacuum cleaner pioneer James Dyson’s property business, Legal & General, Redevco, LaSalle Investment Management and Meyer Bergman.

Tony Brothwell, Fund Manager at DTZ Investors commented:

“Shopstop represents a rare opportunity to acquire a prime, fully let, mixed use, multilet property in a dynamic London location with significant future development possibilities supported by the major infrastructure improvements planned for this very busy rail interchange.

We are confident that this purchase will provide strong medium and long term returns for the Fund.”

It could, but not only in term of income generated by the shopping parade. Clapham Junction is a designated site for a Crossrail 2 station, due to open in the early 2030s, and it is well known that Network Rail has expressed interest for the area, including CPO (Compulsory Purchase Order) if necessary.

Clapham Junction Insider (formerly known as the CJAG website) has been publishing local news for over 14 years and remains committed to providing information about the local community and engaging in public interest journalism.

Our goal is to feature a wide range of community campaigns and initiatives, local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, and provide assistance to residents.

We have always been dedicated to these endeavours and have no intention of changing. In fact, we would like to expand our efforts further.

Until recently, all the stories, analyses, and reports published have been made possible with the invaluable help of many volunteers. However, it requires a significant amount of time and effort, and we are frustrated that we cannot do more. There are numerous topics we would like to cover, but we require financial resources to provide regular information.

Therefore, we kindly ask our readers to consider offering financial support to sustain these efforts. Any contributions made will help support community and public interest news, as well as the expansion of our coverage in this area.
