Notes to Editors
The masterplan, unveiled on 20 June 2008 by Real Estate Opportunities Limited ("REO"),
a London listed property company, will regenerate an area of London that will provide
approximately 8 million square feet (750,000 square metres) of residential, office and
retail space. There will be a six acre public park, a riverside walk and an urban square.

A development by Treasury Holdings UK on behalf of REO
The Battersea Power Station development will be home to around 7,000 people and up
to 20,000 new jobs will be created. More than 3,200 homes will be built on the site and
2,500 jobs will be created during the construction phase.
REO is planning to spend £150 million on saving and repairing Sir Giles Gilbert Scott's
1930s power station, with the key historic spaces retained and open to the public. It will
be developed to incorporate hotel, residential and retail accommodation. It will once
again be used to produce power with a new combined cooling, heat and power plant,
but this time using biofuels, waste and other renewable energy sources. Two of the
existing power station's chimneys will be reused as flues for this new Energy Centre.
In its role as development manager for REO, Treasury Holdings UK is holding a public
exhibition of the proposed masterplan.
The opening times are:
· Saturday 28th June 10am - 6pm
· Monday 30th June to Thursday 3rd July 12 noon - 8pm
· Friday 4th July 12 noon - 6pm
