LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - Hammerson confirmed on Monday that it was set to take full control of Brent Cross shopping centre.
Responding to recent press speculation, the company said it was in the process of buying the 59% of Brent Cross it does not already own from Aberdeen for around £200m.
