CEO Ian Hawksworth highlighted a robust start to the Christmas trading period, anticipating an average annual rental growth of 5-7% in the medium term. The West End, renowned as a vibrant global destination, demonstrated positive trends like high footfall, strong demand for space, and a low 2.2% vacancy rate. With brand activations and new luxury openings, including Hublot and Girard-Perregaux, Shaftesbury remains confident in the enduring appeal of its prime West End properties.
