After fully retiring as a working power station in the 1980s, it sat empty and\u00a0deteriorating\u00a0for the next\u00a030 years. In 2012 it was rescued by a consortium of Malaysian investors and in 2022 it\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/london\/news\/first-look-battersea-power-station-is-finally-opening-to-the-public-and-its-spectacular-100522\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">finally opened<\/a> as the\u00a0behemoth retail and leisure destination it is today.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, the\u00a0owners of Battersea Power Station are apparently looking to put it on the market. If they do decide to go ahead and sell it, agents reckon it could go for an enormous \u00a32 billion. Reports say that advisers from BNP Paribas have been brought in to explore interest from a \u2018handful\u2019 of\u00a0interested buyers.<\/p>\n<p>The landmark, which cost roughly \u00a35 billion to bring back to life, is owned by Malaysian state-owned investor Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB) and the Employees\u2019 Provident Fund (EPF), Malaysia\u2019s main pension fund. They were both part of\u00a0the wider Malaysian consortium that bought the site in 2012 for around \u00a3400 million and then\u00a0bought\u00a0the commercial\u00a0elements of the project \u2013 which\u00a0 includes the shops, Apple\u2019s offices and the Chimney Lift visitor attraction \u2013 from the consortium in 2019 for \u00a31.6bn. That means that the sale wouldn\u2019t involve the apartments in the power station.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"674d2b56-1fa2-b102-593f-f4905b8a6042\" class=\"photo lazy inline\" loading=\"lazy\" data-component=\"lazy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1761585998_756_image.webp.webp\" alt=\"Battersea Power Station in London\" data-caption=\"\" data-credit=\"Photograph: Taljat David \/ Shutterstock.com\" data-width-class=\"\" data-image-id=\"106335516\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\nPhotograph: Taljat David \/ Shutterstock.com&#13;<\/p>\n<p>None of the involved parties have commented on the rumours yet and there\u2019s no guarantee that they will choose to sell.
