LONDON (Alliance News) - UK Commercial Property Trust Ltd Tuesday said it has let a 30,300 square foot store over two levels at the Charles Darwin Shopping Centre in Shrewsbury to fashion retailer Primark, a move that triggers a GBP12 million investment programme by the trust to refit the store and improve the public areas of the shopping centre.

"Securing this significant letting to Primark is not only an asset management game-changer for our shopping centres in Shrewsbury, through the magnet affect we believe Primark will generate, but it is also expected to be a significant building block in our strategy to improve the company's overall retail sector performance," said Will Fulton, fund manager at Standard Life Investments.

Standard Life Investments advises UK Commercial Property Trust.

The store, which is Primark's first in Shrewsbury, is a reconfiguration of nine existing units, the trust said. A comprehensive fit-out is to be undertaken, creating a modern new shopping environment.

Primark is owned by Associated British Foods PLC.

UK Commercial Property Trust shares were down 0.1% at 89.95 pence Tuesday afternoon.

The Morningstar Star Rating for Stocks is assigned based on an analyst's estimate of a stocks fair value. It is projection/opinion and not a statement of fact. Morningstar assigns star ratings based on an analyst’s estimate of a stock's fair value. Four components drive the Star Rating: (1) our assessment of the firm’s economic moat, (2) our estimate of the stock’s fair value, (3) our uncertainty around that fair value estimate and (4) the current market price. This process culminates in a single-point star rating that is updated daily. A 5-star represents a belief that the stock is a good value at its current price; a 1-star stock isn't. If our base-case assumptions are true the market price will converge on our fair value estimate over time, generally within three years. Investments in securities are subject to market and other risks. Past performance of a security may or may not be sustained in future and is no indication of future performance.
