Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.PILLAR PROPERTY, the property investment group, has formed an unit trust to buy two Fosse Park properties for pounds 205.5m.
Pillar, Schroder Exempt Property Unit Trust and SITQ International Inc, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec, said they had formed a Jersey-based closed-end unit trust which had completed the acquisition of the Fosse Park and Fosse Park South retail
parks near Leicester.
Key retail chains represented on the Fosse Park developments include Marks & Spencer, Boots, Burton, Next and Dixons, and on Fosse Park South they include Currys, PC World and Carpet Depot.
Pillar said that while the underlying units are not expected to become actively traded, it is believed that the simplicity of transferring the units will enhance the liquidity for investors.
The Trust provides for expansion by a further pounds 300m should other suitable retail park investments be identified.
