NEW REPORT! 📢

*To Market, To Market: Asset Managers in the UK Retail Sector* investigates the financial powers behind Elephant and Castle’s remarkable transformation, six years after the
demolition of the beloved Shopping Centre in 2020.

💰Who profits from land ownership in Elephant and Castle?

Get Living plc, the developer and operator behind the Shopping Centre’s regeneration scheme, is the first entity in a cascading network of extractive private ownership, spanning Canadian and Australian pension funds, Dutch asset managers and German insurance companies.

📑This report uncovers who profits as the existing local community continues to struggle, and how the government’s private capital-led investment model runs counter to supporting place-based economic development.

Diana Sachs, owner of La Bodeguita for over 20 years, makes the case for all migrant-led small businesses being displaced in Elephant and Castle due to so called ‘re-generation’.

📢“I am one of the dozens of traders who were relocated to nearby sites such as Castle Square and Elephant Arcade, following the demolition of the Shopping Centre, with the promise that we would be able to continue trading and eventually return to the new town centre. Many of us have now lost the businesses we spent decades building.”
