CAPITAL & REGIONAL PLC:
SALE OF THE STACK, DUNDEE
Capital & Regional plc, the co-investing property asset manager, has announced
that the £550 million X-Leisure Fund, has successfully completed its first
disposal with the sale of The Stack Leisure Park in Dundee to Towntalk Ltd.
The sale of The Stack by X-Leisure is consistent with the Fund's strategy of
focusing their specialist skills on the larger leisure destinations where value
and performance is enhanced through proactive active management and consumer led
marketing and PR strategies.
X-Leisure's CEO, PY Gerbeau said "Our Group is proving to the property industry
that our strategic approach, which includes the implementation of a programme of
events and entertainment supported by marketing and promotions, increases both
footfall and dwell time resulting in a higher spend per park and in turn an
increase in rental value and capital values - the 'virtuous circle'".
