#83 Sam Cotton, Head of Asset Management & Leasing at Battersea Power Station

Sam has responsibility for all retail, leisure, office and meanwhile components of the live 42 acre £8bn Power Station estate.

He joined the business in 2015 and led on the curation of the occupier mix from masterplan inception, delivery of the pre-letting campaign through to public launch in October 2022, taking BPS from a former derelict industrial site to a best in class fully let mixed-use London estate.

Prior to joining BPS in 2015 Sam held roles at Cap Co, Henderson Global Investors and started his career at Savills.

I sat down with Sam to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics:

 

* How he got into real estate

* Early career moves

* Space activation

* Turning an idea into reality

* Tenant mix curation

* Placemaking

* Competition + attracting occupiers

* Importance of Data

 

Oh and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place Sam would invest should he have £500m of capital at his disposal.
