Capital & Regional, the property fund manager and investor, has confirmed plans to raise about £65m for the Junction retail park fund, mostly through a placing of units with Area Property Partners, the US private equity group. Area, formerly Apollo Real Estate, will invest £50m, with the balance to be subscribed by existing unit holders. Units in the £734m fund will be issued at about 18p, a discount of about 40% to the March unit price.
