Hammerson pays cost of Bishopsgate refurb

Article Abstract:

Investing in the rebuilding of 99 Bishopsgate in the City of London has had a negative impact on the financial performance of Hammerson, which saw pre-tax profits fall by more than 9% to 32.1 million pounds in the six months to Jun 1996. However, it believes that there is growing demand for prime office space in the City of London, with top floors at Bishopsgate being let for 484 pounds sterling per sq mt. Acquisitions and higher retail rents have led to an overall rise in net rental income.
