A town's major shopping centre has reportedly been bought by an investment firm for about £150m.

US-based Realty Income bought The Lexicon in Bracknell from previous owners Schroder Capital UK Real Estate Fund and Legal & General Capital.

The shopping centre, which opened in September 2017, includes high street staples Primark, Next and JD Sports.

The Lexicon was developed by the Bracknell Regeneration Partnership, a joint venture between Bracknell Forest Council and Legal & General.

Its first anniversary was celebrated with a visit by the late Queen Elizabeth in October 2018.

The centre had been up for sale since March.
