A release about the discussions stated that Segro has "no certainty that an offer for Brixton will be forthcoming," although the boards of both companies are discussing the matter.
According to a report in Property EU Brixton said earlier this year that it was in talks with several potential parties.
Brixton has not said whether it will actually go forward with a sale. In a release, company executives say, "The Board of Brixton continues to progress its options to provide the Group with additional financial flexibility. These options include a restructuring of the Company's debt arrangements, a potential equity raising and further asset disposals."
Brixton's net asset value saw a huge decline in the first quarter, falling 46.8% according to reports. The company faces $1.03 billion worth of debt set to mature by December 2010.
