to 227,000 sq ft of residential and ancillary uses. Proceeds will be redeployed
into income producing investments that are currently under consideration.
Following completion of the disposal of the subject site the Company continues
to own the 74,000 sq ft Olympic Office Centre which as at 30 June 2014 was
independently valued at £10.75 million.
