Be up on the latest gossip, like LEHMANS COLLAPSED, one of the BIG FIVE BANKS n LONDON! IT COLLAPSES? Fergawdsake! How did that happen. You google it until you understand and can talk intelligently about bank collapse. Now, when in LONDON, Go see the empty LEHMAN's bldg at CANARY WHARF. 30 floors of glass and offices, a Lease 'til 2033, now dead in the water. And I'd worry. It's insured by AIG! Here's your first bank gossip, memorize it! Then sign up at college for ECONOMICS and FINANCE. This week!
"Canary Wharf has been on a roller-coaster ride since construction
of its
towers began in 1988. Now it appears to be in for another bump.
The bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers is threatening more trouble for the
financial district, which is already jittery as banks cut back on
expansion plans amid the year-old credit crunch. The 30-floor glass
tower that Lehman rents in Canary Wharf could be on the market soon,
putting more downward pressure on rents that have already softened
substantially over the past year.
Adding to the concern: If Lehman defaults on the rent on its lease,
which runs through 2033, landlord Canary Wharf Group is protected by
an
insurance policy with AIG Financial Products, a division of American
International Group Inc., the US insurance titan facing a cash shortage
and rattling markets globally. Under the contract, AIG would step in
and
pay the rent for "up to four years from default," said Canary Wharf
Group's majority shareholder, Songbird Estates, in a statement Tuesday.
That's another layer of worry given AIG's precarious position.
If Lehman vacates the building, it would be the second large empty tower
in Canary Wharf. A 12-story, partly completed building designed to
house
Bear Stearns is currently hanging in limbo after that bank was bailed
out and acquired earlier this year. Construction is due to finish next
year.
"Even if Lehman survives it won't occupy nearly as much space as it
did
previously," says James Roberts, head of central London research for
Knight Frank, a property consultancy. "And there is the whole
psychological effect of a tower -- looking at it and knowing it's
empty."
Canary Wharf today is home to some of the biggest banks in London. But
it has had a history of booms and busts. Built on former docks a few
miles southeast of central London, Canary Wharf gets its name because
many of the imports arriving at the docks were from the Canary Islands.
The complex of gleaming skyscrapers was conceived in the 1980s and
originally developed by Olympia & York, the developer that built
the
World Financial Centre complex in New York City.
Across London, the banking crisis comes at a particularly bad time for
the commercial real-estate industry. Cranes dot the skyline as the
city
undergoes a building boom, adding office space to the market just as
banks are retrenching.
Office rental prices on Canary Wharf peaked at £50, or about $90,
a
square foot in the third quarter of 2007, Roberts said. By the second
quarter of this year, they had dropped about 10% to £45 a square
foot.
Perhaps most exposed to the district's troubles is Canary Wharf Group,
which, in addition to owning the Lehman tower, owns more than half
of
the 14 million square feet of office space in Canary Wharf. Songbird
Estates, a publicly traded company based in London that owns 60% of
Canary Wharf Group, said in a statement Tuesday that the board of Canary
Wharf Group expects to start talking soon with the administrator of
Lehman's insolvency proceedings in the UK, PricewaterhouseCoopers.
A
PricewaterhouseCoopers spokeswoman declined to comment on the tower.
Lehman, which moved into the tower in 2001 because it wanted more space
to grow, rents about one million square feet, Songbird said. Lehman
occupies 875,000 square feet of the space; the rest is sublet to other
tenants.
Monday, after being told that Lehman had filed for bankruptcy, Lehman
employees streamed out of the London tower into nearby pubs. They stayed
until well into the evening, drinking pints of beer and trading nervous
chatter about their futures.
The Lehman tower, called 25 Bank Street, illustrates the
interconnectedness of financial markets. Canary Wharf Group has issued
£2.55bn(€3.62bn) in bonds that are partly securitised by
25 Bank Street,
Songbird said in its statement. In the event that Lehman defaults on
its
rent, Canary Wharf Group is protected by the AIG insurance policy.
With credit-rating firms recently lowering AIG's rating, the insurer
needs to "post collateral or have the AIG commitment guaranteed by
an
entity with specified credit ratings," Songbird said, adding that it
has
access to a £300m line of credit that it can use to pay bondholders
if
all else fails.
This week's tumultuous banking news could also mean tougher times ahead
for London's other main business district, known as the City. Merrill
Lynch rents 550,000 square feet on King Edward Street in the City,
but
after Bank of America's offer to buy Merrill Lynch this week, the future
of that lease is unclear, analysts say. Officials at Merrill Lynch
and
Bank of America declined to comment.
