QIA-Brookfield consortium win $4 bln battle for Canary Wharf: Reuters
A Qatari-led consortium looked set to win its long-running battle to buy Songbird Estates Plc after the owner of London's Canary Wharf business district dropped its opposition to the US$4 billion offer, Reuters reported. The Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) and Brookfield Property Partners launched an offer direct to Songbird shareholders in December, hoping to add a financial district rivaling the City of London to landmarks already in its portfolio.
