Things Wikidata records the company as owning, with the share when stated.1

The story

The company traces its origins to 1944, when its founder Harold Samuel purchased Land Securities Investment Trust Limited, which owned three houses in Kensington and some government stock. Further acquisitions followed shortly afterwards and from 1947 the company concentrated on commercial property. In the early days some non-UK investments were acquired, but in 1971 these were sold off and the company decided to focus solely on the UK market. The company name was changed to Land Securities plc in 1982.

After buying Trillium in 2000, in 2002 it formed a 50/50 joint venture company (Telereal Trillium) with William Pears Group (WPG) to buy the property portfolio of British Telecom: after selling its shares in Telereal to WPG in 2007, Land Securities sold Trillium to WPG in 2009.

On 31 March 2012, Francis Salway was succeeded as chief executive by Robert Noel. Noel was managing director of the company's London properties, having joined Land Securities in January 2010 from Great Portland Estates plc.

On 12 June 2017, Land Securities rebranded as Landsec, although the registered company name remained Land Securities Group PLC.

In 2019, Landsec launched a series of open plan offices under the brand "Myo". The first Myo office opened that year, at 123 Victoria Street, London, followed by the second Myo office, at Liverpool Street, in May 2021.

In November 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, Landsec announced plans to sell £4 billion of assets in the next four to five years, including hotels, leisure properties and retail parks affected by pandemic.

In November 2021, Landsec announced it was to acquire urban regeneration specialist U+I for £190 million.

In December 2021, Landsec increased its 30% ownership in the Bluewater Shopping Centre by acquiring a further 25% share from Lendlease Retail Partnership for £172 million. At the same time Landsec confirmed the sale of 25% of the newly acquired shares to M&G, one of Bluewater's co-owners. Landsec's overall share increased to 48.75%.

Landsec owns and manages more than 24,000,000 sq ft (2,200,000 m2) of commercial property, from London offices and high street shops to major shopping centres and out-of-town retail parks. On 31 March 2026 the company's property portfolio was valued at £10.0 billion. The company owns the Piccadilly Lights in Piccadilly Circus in London. It has also led Project Nova, the development of the area around London Victoria station.

In 2010, Landsec purchased a number of tenement blocks in Victoria, central London, which had previously been used as a homeless shelter, and subsequently received multiple planning permissions for the site. As of 2021, after the buildings had remained empty for over a decade, the company said it planned to convert the buildings into flats.

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Land Securities names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 24, 2026: 74 risks under these headings, as written.16

  • Risks Relating to Our Business and Operations
  • Our real estate portfolio is concentrated across a limited number of states, which subjects us to an increased risk of significant loss if adverse weather, economic, or regulatory changes or developments in the markets in which our properties are located occur.
  • We may operate farms on certain of our properties, which will increase our operating costs and expose us to additional farming and related operational risks.
  • Our investments in farms subject to leases with a participation rent component based on the annual gross revenue earned on the respective farm means that a portion of our cash flow is exposed to various risks, including risks related to declining crop prices and lower-than-average crop production, which could have a material adverse effect on the amount of rent we can collect and, consequently, our cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
  • We may not be successful in identifying and consummating additional suitable acquisitions that meet our investment criteria, which may impede our growth and negatively affect our results of operations.
  • Investments in development farmland, or farmland planted with immature permanent crops rather than annual crops or mature permanent crops, may have inherent risks, including those relating to the longer period between development and commercial productivity for certain permanent crop development farms, the cost of development, profitability of newly-developed farms, higher ongoing costs, and delayed development, all of which could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flow.
  • We currently lease many of our properties to medium-sized, independent farming operations and agricultural businesses, which may have limited financial and personnel resources and, therefore, may be less stable than larger companies, which could impact our ability to generate rental revenue.
  • Our Adviser has broad authority to make acquisitions and dispositions of properties, and there can be no assurance that, in the future, we will be able to continue to enter into definitive agreements to purchase properties, complete acquisitions, or dispose of properties on favorable terms. Our stockholders are unable to evaluate the economic merits of our investments or the terms of any dispositions of properties.
  • Our cash available for distribution to stockholders may not be sufficient to pay anticipated distributions, nor can we assure you of our ability to make distributions in the future, and we may need to borrow to make such distributions or may not be able to make such distributions at all.
  • Some of our tenants may be unable to pay rent, which could adversely affect our cash available to make distributions to our stockholders or otherwise impair the value of your investment.
  • Adverse changes in government policies related to farming could affect the prices of crops and the profitability of farming operations, which could materially and adversely affect the value of our properties and our results of operations.
  • Tariffs may adversely affect us or our tenants.
The other 63 risks
  • Some of our tenants could be susceptible to bankruptcy, which would affect our ability to generate rents from them and therefore negatively affect our results of operations.
  • We are exposed to elevated credit and concentration risks from any tenant that accounts for a relatively high percentage of the total lease revenue we expect to generate from our farms, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
  • Because we expect to continue to enter into some short-term leases, we may continue to be more susceptible to any decreases in prevailing market rental rates than would be the case with long-term leases, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
  • Our investments in properties with longer-term leases (i.e., five years or more), could expose us to various risks, including interest rate risk and the risk of being unable to take advantage of prevailing market rates, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash available for distribution to stockholders.
  • Our investments in farmland used for permanent crops have a higher risk profile than farmland used for annual row crops.
  • Market conditions for certain permanent crops may continue at depressed levels for the foreseeable future.
  • Our real estate investments will consist of agricultural properties that may be difficult to sell or re-lease upon tenant defaults or early lease terminations, either of which would adversely affect returns to stockholders.
  • Illiquidity of our farmland investments may make it difficult for us to sell properties in response to market conditions and could harm our financial condition and ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
  • If we sell properties and provide financing to purchasers, defaults by the purchasers would decrease our cash flows and limit our ability to make distributions.
  • If our properties do not have access to adequate water supplies, it could harm our ability to lease the properties for farming, thereby adversely affecting our ability to generate returns on our properties.
  • Our agricultural properties are subject to adverse weather conditions, seasonal variability, crop disease and other contaminants, which may affect our tenants’ ability to pay rent and thereby have an adverse effect on our results of operations and our ability to make distributions to stockholders.
  • Our operating results and the value of our properties may be impacted by future climate changes, adversely impacting the value of our properties and our ability to generate rental revenue.
  • Because we must distribute a substantial portion of our net income to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we will be largely dependent on third-party sources of capital to fund our future capital needs.
  • We may not be able to raise sufficient capital or borrow money in sufficient amounts or on sufficiently favorable terms necessary to attain the optimal degree of leverage to operate our business, which may have an adverse effect on our operations and ability to pay distributions.
  • Our income from operations may not be enough to cover our debt service obligations, which may affect distributions to stockholders or cause us to incur losses.
  • We have secured borrowings, which would have a risk of loss of the property securing such loan upon foreclosure.
  • As we consider additional debt financing from third-party lenders, our assets may become highly leveraged, which may result in losses.
  • We face a risk from the fact that certain of our properties are cross-collateralized.
  • Competition for the acquisition of agricultural real estate may impede our ability to make acquisitions, increase the cost of these acquisitions or decrease or prevent increases in the occupancy and rental rates of our current properties.
  • We operate as a holding company dependent upon the assets and operations of our subsidiaries, and because of our structure, we may not be able to generate the funds necessary to make distributions on our common stock.
  • Some state laws prohibit or restrict the ownership of agricultural land by business entities, which could impede the growth of our portfolio and our ability to diversify geographically.
  • Failure to succeed in new markets may have adverse consequences.
  • We may not ultimately be able to sell our agricultural real estate to developers in connection with the conversion of such properties to urban or suburban uses, especially in light of the current uncertain market for real estate development.
  • Liability for uninsured or underinsured losses could adversely affect our financial condition.
  • Potential liability for environmental matters could adversely affect our financial condition.
  • If our tenants fail to comply with applicable labor regulations, it could have an adverse effect on our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
  • The presence of endangered or threatened species on or near our acquired farmland could restrict the activities of our agricultural tenants, which could in turn have a material adverse impact on the value of our assets and our results of operations.
  • We may be required to permit the owners of the mineral rights to our properties to enter and occupy parts of the properties for the purposes of drilling and operating oil or gas wells, which could adversely impact the rental value of our properties.
  • Interest rate fluctuations may adversely affect our results of operations.
  • We cannot predict the impact future actions by regulators or government bodies, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, will have on real estate debt markets, the market value of our capital stock or on our business, and any such actions may negatively impact us.
  • Cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents may adversely affect our business by causing a disruption to our operations or the operations of businesses in which we invest, a compromise or corruption of our confidential information, and/or damage to our business relationships, all of which could negatively impact our business, financial condition, and operating results.
  • Our business may be adversely affected by public health emergencies.
  • Risks Associated with Our Use of an Adviser to Manage Our Business
  • We are dependent upon our key management personnel who are employees of our Adviser and Administrator for our future success, particularly David Gladstone, Bill Reiman, Lewis Parrish, and Jay Beckhorn.
  • Our success will continue to depend on the performance of our Adviser and if our Adviser makes inadvisable investment or management decisions, our operations could be materially adversely impacted.
  • We may have conflicts of interest with our Adviser and other affiliates, which could result in investment decisions that are not in the best interests of our stockholders.
  • Our financial condition and results of operations will depend on our Adviser’s ability to effectively manage our future growth.
  • Our Adviser is not obligated to provide a waiver of the incentive fee, which could negatively impact our earnings and our ability to maintain our current level of, or increase, distributions to our stockholders.
  • We may be obligated to pay our Adviser quarterly incentive compensation even if we incur a net loss during a particular quarter.
  • Risks Associated With Ownership of Our Common Stock and OP Units and Our Tax Status
  • Certain provisions contained in our charter and bylaws and under Maryland law may prohibit or restrict attempts by our stockholders to change our management and hinder efforts to effect a change of control of us, and the market price of our common stock may be lower as a result.
  • Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to take action against our directors and officers are limited.
  • We may enter into tax protection agreements in the future in connection with the issuance of OP Units to acquire additional properties, which could limit our ability to sell or otherwise dispose of certain properties.
  • Our redemption of OP Units could result in the issuance of a large number of new shares of our common stock and/or force us to expend significant cash, which may limit our funds necessary to make distributions on our common stock.
  • Our charter grants our Board of Directors the right to classify or reclassify any unissued shares of capital stock, increase or decrease the authorized number of shares and establish the preference and rights of any preferred stock without stockholder approval.
  • Holders of our currently-designated preferred securities and future holders of any securities ranking senior to our common stock have dividend and/or liquidation rights that are senior to the rights of the holders of our common stock. Additional issuances of securities senior to our common stock may negatively impact the value of our common stock and further restrict the ability of holders of our common stock to receive dividends and/or liquidation rights.
  • We may not have sufficient earnings and profits to pay distributions on our currently-designated preferred securities or common stock to be treated as dividends.
  • We may not be able to maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, which would subject us to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates, thereby reducing the amount of funds available for paying distributions to stockholders.
  • Complying with REIT requirements may cause us to forgo or liquidate otherwise attractive investments.
  • Failure to make required distributions, both prior to and following our REIT election, would jeopardize our REIT status, which could require us to pay taxes and negatively impact our cash available for future distribution.
  • Dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends.
  • If we fail to meet stock ownership diversification requirements, we would fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT, which could require us to pay taxes and negatively impact our cash available for future distribution.
  • We will not seek to obtain a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) that we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
  • The IRS may treat sale-leaseback transactions as loans, which could jeopardize our REIT status.
  • Investments in our common stock may not be suitable for pension or profit-sharing trusts, Keogh Plans or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”).
  • If our Operating Partnership fails to maintain its status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, its income may be subject to taxation.
  • Our ownership of, and relationship with, TRSs will be limited, and our failure to comply with the limits would jeopardize our REIT status and could result in the application of a 100% excise tax.
  • Legislative or regulatory income tax changes related to REITs could materially and adversely affect us.
  • Risks Relating to the Market for our Common Stock and our Currently-Designated Preferred Securities
  • Future issuances and sales of shares of our common stock, our currently-designated preferred securities, future series of preferred securities, or the perception that such issuances will occur, may have adverse effects on the trading prices of our shares.
  • An increase in market interest rates may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
  • Shares of our currently-designated preferred securities are subordinated to existing and future debt, and your interests could be diluted by the issuance of additional preferred stock or by other transactions.
  • We operate as a holding company dependent upon the assets and operations of our subsidiaries, and because of our structure, we may not be able to generate the funds necessary to make distributions on our currently-designated preferred securities.
  • We intend to apply for quotation on Nasdaq for the Series E Preferred Stock in the future; however, there is currently no public market for this security. Even after listing, if achieved, a liquid secondary trading market may not develop, and the features of the Series E Preferred Stock may not provide holders of such shares with favorable liquidity options.
  • Our currently-designated preferred securities all bear a risk of redemption by us.

Legal proceedings

In the ordinary course of business incidental to our business, we may be involved in various legal proceedings from time to time which we may not consider material. We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, are any material legal proceedings threatened against us.
