BENGALURU: In a strategic move, British property company LondonMetric Property is currently in talks to merge with London-based real estate investment trust LXI, intending to establish a formidable entity valued at £3.9 billion ($4.94 billion), as announced by the companies on Monday.
Both the LondonMetric and LXI boards envision the merger as an opportunity to unite two entities with complementary strategic approaches. Their shared focus revolves around delivering compounding income-led total shareholder returns throughout economic cycles, according to a joint statement from the commercial property duo.
LondonMetric, operating as a real estate investment trust, predominantly holds logistic platforms alongside a grocery-led long-income portfolio. In contrast, LXI has diversified investments across sectors such as healthcare, budget hotels, theme parks, food stores, industrial facilities, pubs, and education.
