17:49 | 04.03.08

DTZ and Savills have been selected to market the office element of Argent's £2bn King's Cross scheme, Property Week has learnt.

By Deirdre Hipwell

In a hotly contested agency pitch the two companies beat CB Richard Ellis, Drivers Jonas and Cushman & Wakefield. Around 14 agents originally submitted proposals.

The office element of the 7.9m sq ft mixed-use King's Cross scheme is around 4.1m sq ft and is regarded as the most important and lucrative agency letting instruction after Canary Wharf in London's Docklands.

It is thought that DTZ and Savills could earn between £15m and £20m each in fees over the lifespan of the development.


A final period of discussions will take place before the two agents are formally appointed.

Argent's 67 acre brownfield site is located to the north of King's Cross and St Pancras stations. London & Continental Railways and Exel own the land. It is one of the biggest regeneration schemes under way in London.

All parties declined to comment

Look at the crest shares on loan in the header of this thread - they've been increasing since the start of 2008...

[phillis] 19/2/2008 14:57

Wonder what the shorters are thinking

Look at the yellow MACD divergence line in the MACD analysis.

A gradient in the opposite direction to the share price is meant to be a strong TA indicator. However it is not fool proof. The blue line I've drawn in May shows how this indicator can sometimes fail. However the ones starting in April 06 and October 07 seem to be predictively accurate.

I'm monitoring this share - today's movement is very interesting although I still have no position.

In retrospect I did wrong by not buying at 250 but articles like the one above stop me from buying at anything above 300p

Goldman Sachs took an interest greater than 4% in Jan 10 RNS.

Today they have announced they have less than 4% share of SVS.

"Property stocks got a lift after Morgan Stanley recommended investors switch from continental peers into the UK arena while an upbeat trading statement from Barratt Developments also boosted housebuilders.

Morgan Stanley upgraded British Land to 'overweight' from 'underweight' along with its midcap peers Brixton and Segro.

Morgan Stanley said it expects a short, sharp, counter-trend rally in UK property shares in first-half 2008 as it sees the Bank of England forced to cut UK base rates by around 100 basis points in an attempt to avert a recession.

British Land was up 47-1/2 at 968, Land Securities gained 30 at 1,555 and Hammerson was 21 higher at 1,044, while in the midcaps Great Portland Estates was up 28 at 465, Segro was 44 firmer at 517-1/2 and Barratt Developments was 36-1/4 higher at 399 after its strong H1 trading update which Panmure Gordon described as more positive in tone than its competitors.

Have to say I'm shocked at the rise today.

Currently I'm out of this share and will continue to stay out until I know the impact of falling UK commercial property transactions. I think there is a bit of irrational exuberance today although I do believe SVS has been oversold and it is a sound well managed company.

[cambium] 14/1/2008 13:02

Crest rising still on this I'm staying away

[jockthescot] 14/1/2008 10:31

For a FTSE 250 company Silverballs?!!
You must be joking!

[silverballs] 14/1/2008 10:28

The company is very management oriented and could easily be considering a management buyout.There would be no shortage of funding for such a succesful business.Certainly one to keep an eye on.

[blondviking] 14/1/2008 09:48

Good show this am - up 10%

mike24 - yeah i wasn't convinced by those property punts in moneyweek. Evershed was tipping alpha pyrenees in moneyweek in June and since his tip its fallen 16.7%. He also tipped Renesola in this interview which tanked down to sub 200p from a tip price of 516p. (though admittedly SOLA has bounced better than his other suggestions).

10/1 HK investors flee the prop market, cheung kong dropped 3.4% as

This is the share the telegraph has tipped continually for years - and now they are saying sell and wait. Brilliant.

UK/US Commercial property is likely to remain a no-go sector for the first half of 2008 so I am staying out of SVS for this reason - as I believe the luxury residential end will ride out a downturn better than the cheaper end of the market.
