Tony Lorenz acquired this restaurant for Sakura way back in 1974 and ever since he has handled rent review negotiations.
The Landlords have progressed with their intention of redeveloping but their timing was out of sync with the lease expiry and accordingly Sakura fought for a new lease. After doing battle on all fronts, including substantive legal arguments, a compromise was negotiated to take a five year lease from March 2009 at a reduced rent subject to a Landlord opportunity to break and a substantial capital sum being paid to Sakura over and above statutory compensation if as and when the Landlords redevelop.
