GREAT PORTLAND ESTATES P L C is a Public Limited Company registered in United Kingdom under 00596137, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 30 December 1957 and lists its registered address as United Kingdom. 5 shareholders are on record for GREAT PORTLAND ESTATES P L C, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Companies House and was last updated on 22 September 2026.

Shareholders

5

Five shareholders are currently on record for GREAT PORTLAND ESTATES P L C, held on the Confirmation Statement (CS01), filed under the Companies Act 2006.

The largest of these is Price (T.Rowe) Overseas Stock Fund, holding 12.9% — the largest recorded stake — followed by Price (T.Rowe) International Value Equity Fund at 6.1%; the remaining 3 shareholders shown hold smaller stakes.

The register reports 12 shareholders in total, though only the top 5 by holding are shown in this view.

Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Group Structure

GREAT PORTLAND ESTATES P L C has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 23 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 1 jurisdiction. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.

Those 23 subsidiaries span United Kingdom jurisdiction, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. Three of the 23 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
