“…Some argue that sectoral diversification might be a more effective risk management strategy (Eichholtz et al, 1995), particularly for volatile phases of the property cycle (Lee and Devaney, 2007). However, it has been noted that aspects, such as market dynamics or policy constraints, condition real estate portfolio risk diversification possibilities, aspects understated in MPT and other neo-classical-leaning approaches (Adams et al, 2005; Esposito, 2016; Keogh and D’Arcy, 1999). The utility of such approaches for understanding how, and in what ways, private sector interests perform and act in specific place-based contexts, is therefore limited and highly selective, as the principles, models and knowledge sources they draw upon remain in the abstract.…”

Writings on urban development and planning in Europe have been dominated by a combination of technical studies of the real estate sector and more structural political economy approaches on land expropriation and financialisation. In this paper we draw on the example of the London Landed Estates, to critically assess how land-owning real estate companies, that we call city-owners, perform their roles and what models and knowledge sources they draw upon in managing and carefully curating urban spaces and places. Data sources include interviews with estate managers, others involved in, or affected by, their management, and other corporate public information. Our theoretical framing draws on performativity theory that we see as a valuable addition to existing research approaches. We describe and analyse the ways these agencies construct narratives and practices of socially responsible and historically established forms of performance, that they label place stewardship, and the specific mechanisms they use to bring places into existence. Collectively, the discussion calls for an increased focus on how models abstracted from local context and politics can be ‘localised’, in the study of the governance of the built environment. Greater attention also needs to be paid to the work that place does in influencing the strategies, tactics and activities of property owners.
