Operating and Financial Review
Urban Estate
This year's good results reflect the investment strategy and favourable market conditions for this sector. Priorities for next year relate to facing the increasingly challenging investment and occupier markets.
Marine Estate
The diversity of the marine estate can be seen in the range of projects that we have actively been involved in during the year. The expectation is that through direct investment in the marine estate, its considerable potential may start to be unlocked.
Rural Estate
Income continues to be supported by growth in residential and commercial rents alongside gains from non-farm enterprises. With respect to the balance of our portfolio, we continue to implement our investment strategy that is geared to enhancing long-term performance.
Windsor Estate
The completion and opening of the new Savill Building in 2006 represents a pinnacle in our development of The Royal Landscape. It now provides excellent facilities for visitors who wish to enjoy The Savill Garden and other aspects of the southern area of Windsor Great Park.
