Hong Kong's Link Real Estate Investment Trust is reportedly in talks with retail landlord Intu to back its £1bn emergency cash call. The property giant is nearing a deal with the Trafford Centre owner about becoming a "cornerstone" investor in the fundraise later this month, the Times reported. Peel Group, which owns a 27.3 per cent stake in Intu, is also expected to support the cash call.
