Landsec is reportedly looking to acquire the Metrocentre shopping centre in Gateshead, which was put on the market earlier this year for £500m. The FTSE 100-listed real estate investment trust is understood to have emerged as the frontrunner to acquire the shopping centre, according to The Times, seeing off interest from Frasers Group and Hammerson. The Metrocentre Partnership, which includes the Church Commissioners and Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, placed Metrocentre up for sale in June, although it is understood that Landsec could pay well in excess of the £500m asking price.
