LONDON-The fund management arm of Australian developer, Lend Lease, has secured and is in the running for a string of acquisitions worth £533 million ($813.8 million).

Lend Lease Global Properties announced yesterday it is buying a portfolio of 16 industrial units and offices across the UK from REIT Asset Management for £124.2 million ($189.6 million). Frogmore Estates, Lend Lease’s joint venture partner in the acquisition, will act as strategic property manager of the 16 assets, which total 217,800 sq m.
