About Hammerson

We are an owner, operator and developer of sustainable prime urban real estate.

We create vibrant, continually evolving spaces, in and around thriving cities, where people and brands want to be. Our destinations sit at the very heart of communities and in many cases form part of a city’s very identity.   

We seek to deliver value for all our stakeholders and to create a positive and sustainable impact for generations to come.

 

About us

Our strategy

The major changes across the consumer and occupier landscape mean it is an exciting time to be in real estate. We are anticipating and starting to set new trends in how physical space is used in Europe’s major cities within our portfolio. Hammerson has a unique opportunity to be part of shaping future cities and transforming urban spaces.

We are a stronger business today. We have developed a robust strategy to take advantage of future opportunities. We will further strengthen the balance sheet by continuing to simplify the portfolio, as well as generating capital for reinvestment.

We are focused on: reducing vacancy and void costs; repurposing space; delivering a mix that occupiers and customers demand; and unlocking value from the development opportunities in the portfolio. By continuing to execute our strategy, we will continue to build a better business, and that will deliver value for shareholders.

Deliver sustainable and resilient capital structure

Our strategy review identified that we own and operate unique assets in some of the fastest growing cities in the UK, Ireland and France, and hold investments in the best-in-class premium outlet villages. Equally, we identified assets where we did not see opportunities to deliver a sustainable return on capital over the long term.


We continue to re-align our portfolio through a disciplined disposals programme of non-core assets, re-focusing the Group on a portfolio of prime urban estates; reducing indebtedness and generating capital for redeployment into core assets and developments.
