The John Lewis Partnership said that £500m represented the planned development value of the properties but would not give a breakdown of the level of investment being committed by each partner. The move underlines our commitment to build on the strength of our brands to diversify beyond retail into areas where trust really matters.” Our residents can expect homes furnished by John Lewis with first-rate service and facilities.

Nina Bhatia, the executive director for strategy and commercial development at John Lewis, said: “Our partnership with Abrdn is a major milestone in our ambition to create much-needed quality residential housing in our communities. The John Lewis Partnership, which reported a first-half loss of £99m and warned that a tough run-up to Christmas could put its annual staff bonus at risk this year, said the move into the rental market would provide “a stable income for the partnership”. The metro also takes you to Parc Collserola.The locations for the new homes, which will be furnished with products from John Lewis, have been chosen because of their close proximity to transport links and central location. Note: If you’d like to have a guided running experience in Barcelona, we highly recommend our affiliate partner Go! Running Tours.īarcelona has great public transport, so it’s easy to do a run one-way and hop the bus or metro. Another ‘must’ is to get up into the hills, mainly Parc Collserola, which in addition to fabulous trail running, has great views of the eight-spired, iconic Sagrada Familia cathedral. It’s also fun to do a “tourist run”, which includes some of Barcelona’s most famous streets and sites - but they get crowded so it’s best to run early. A good opportunity for a long, seamless run is along the Besós River, from the waterfront west for up to 10k. The absolute “musts” are along the waterfont/beach, the Montjuic area, and Ciutadella Park.

There are some terrific running options near downtown hotels and the convention center. The city is a fabulous mix of a preserved gothic quarter, modern, fashion-oriented development, accessible waterfront and beautiful parks on the outskirts. Barcelona, Spain is one of Europe’s most popular tourist and conference destinations.
