TfL owns the freehold to the exhibition centres Earls Court one and two and Capco is the leaseholder of both sites.

Apart from its leasehold interest, Capco also owns interests in other adjacent land, including the Northern Access Road, which will be contributed to the JV.

Capco investment director Gary Yardley said: “The re-imagination of Earls Court is moving forward and presents a unique opportunity to establish a new address in central London.”

TfL director of commercial development Graeme Craig said: “This is another great step forward in the development of the Earls Court master plan, which will create much-needed homes and jobs for London whilst generating substantial revenues for us to reinvest back into the transport network.”
