Pradera Lateral Limited

Pradera Lateral combines international retail asset management experience with market leading UK retail, leasing and development expertise. The Company has global experience in managing, investing in, developing and advising on premium shopping and leisure destinations. As an asset management company specialising in dominant retail real estate, our primary focus is on providing exceptional services to our investment clients. The largest asset in the portfolio of mandates includes Trafford Centre, Manchester which is one of the UK's flagship super-regional centres, the owner being one of the world's largest institutional investors, Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board ("CPPIB"). Other significant assets include Eldon Square, Newcastle. During the year, the company took over the asset management of the SGS portfolio comprising 4 dominant assets including Lakeside, Essex; Harlequin, Watford; Braehead, Glasgow and Victoria Centre, Nottingham. As the physical retail sector transitions to new operating models, institutional investors are seeking specialist skills to stabilise, reposition where necessary and then optimise future investment performance. The retail narrative has moved beyond simplistic segmentation of retail distribution models; whether on-line, physical or multi-channel, the customer now expects seamless brand engagement across all channels and dominant retail destinations are an essential part of the retail distribution model. Pradera Lateral is at the forefront of digital integration into physical retail. We have implemented new data collection and analytics strategies to optimise trading potential, to broaden occupier mix and to harness opportunities to deliver brands. These data strategies are accompanied by a deep understanding of social media and the opportunity to engage both existing and new generations of customers with engaging content, live events and unique experiences. Pradera Lateral also secured contracts with other third-party clients to advise on retail real estate asset opportunities in the UK.
