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.
