About British Land

Our portfolio of high quality UK commercial property is focused on London
Campuses and Retail & London Urban Logistics assets throughout the UK. We
own or manage a portfolio valued at £12.7bn (British Land share: £8.7bn) as
at 30 September 2023 making us one of Europe's largest listed real estate
investment companies.

We create Places People Prefer, delivering the best, most sustainable places
for our customers and communities. Our strategy is to leverage our best in
class platform and proven expertise in development, repositioning and active
management, investing behind two key themes: Campuses and Retail & London
Urban Logistics.

Our three campuses at Broadgate, Paddington Central and Regent's Place are
dynamic neighbourhoods, attracting growth customers and sectors, and offering
some of the best connected, highest quality and most sustainable space in
London. We are delivering our fourth Campus at Canada Water, where we have
planning consent to deliver 5m sq ft of residential, commercial, retail and
community space over 53 acres. Our Campuses account for 62% of our portfolio.

Retail & London Urban Logistics accounts for 38% of the portfolio and is
focused on retail parks which are aligned to the growth of convenience, online
and last mile fulfilment. We are complementing this with urban logistics
primarily in London, focused on development led opportunities.

Sustainability is embedded throughout our business. Our approach is focused on
three key pillars where British Land can create the most benefit: Greener
Spaces, making our whole portfolio net zero carbon by 2030, Thriving Places,
partnering to grow social value and wellbeing in the communities where we
operate and Responsible Choices, advocating responsible business practices
across British Land and throughout our supply chain, and maintaining robust
governance structures. Further details can be found on the British Land
