Brixton plc is a London-based British property company, and a former constituent of the FTSE 250 Index. Founded in 1924 as Brixton Estate Limited by Percy Mayer, its first acquisition was a six acre location on Brixton Road in London for £135,000. In 1935 the company went public with a capital of £180000. During the Second World War, Brixton began building up an extensive portfolio by purchasing properties at a reduced price due to bomb damage. In 1997, began moving its focus to properties of industrial nature in West London, and in 2001 became Brixton plc. In 2008, the company changed its designation to a real estate investment trust.
