Owner of Bluewater and Trinity Leeds says it has also seen a recovery at its shopping centres
(Reuters) -Land Securities reported its first annual profit in five years on Tuesday, driven by record leasing in its London offices and a return to growth in major retail destinations. Britain's top commercial property landlord said office leases in Central London, which comprises about 65% of the group's overall portfolio, stood at 63 million pounds ($78.5 million) for the year amid higher demand for spacious properties spurred by the return of workers to offices and a rebound in tourism. Shares of the group, which last reported an annual profit in 2017, rose as much as 2.3% at 759 pence by 1015 GMT.
