Arch Company is a private real estate company in the United Kingdom that was created in 2018. It manages a portfolio of over 5,300 properties, most of which are railway arches and 60 percent are in London.[1]

History

The company was founded in 2018 after Network Rail agreed to sell approximately 5,200 of its properties to American investment firm Blackstone and British commercial property investor Telereal_Trillium. The deal was completed for £1.46bn with equal ownership shares for each company. Network Rail remained the freeholder on the sites with a 150-year lease.[2] Network Rail was compelled to make the sale in a 2015 deal with chancellor George Osborne in exchange for funding for rail infrastructure upgrades.[3]. A 2019 report on the sale conducted by the Committee of Public Accounts found "the sale was professionally managed, generated competitive tension and achieved a fair price for the portfolio when valued as a business", but also that "we remain unconvinced that the sale represents the best value for the public and the public sector finances in the long term."[4]
