Dawnay Day is a privately owned financial services group. Founded in 1928 the group is based in London, employs 1,000 staff and claims to own gross assets of more than $4bn. It has offices in Europe, the Middle East, India, the US, and Australia.[1]

History

Dawnay, Day traces its history to 1928 when it was founded by Major Julian Day and General Guy Dawnay.[2]

French financier Guy Naggar bought Dawnay Day in 1981.[3] Dawnay Day went insolvent in July 2008.[4]

Investments

Dawnay Day bought German department store chain Hertie from Karstadt-Quelle (later Arcandor) in partnership with Hilco in 2005. . Dawnay Day held an 85% stake in Hertie, Hilco held 15%.

Hertie filed for bankruptcy on May 20, 2009 since Dawnay Day could not support it any further due to its own dire financial situation. The liquidator of Hertie claimed the department store chain got into difficulties due to improperly high rent payments to the real estate owners, however as seen in the case of Arcandor's bankruptcy in June 2009, the whole German department store sector experienced severe difficulties during these times.

Opposition

Dawnay Day has been criticized and opposed for its purchase of 47 apartment buildings in East Harlem where it has attempted to gentrify the area and make rents unaffordable to current poor residents. The gentrification of the area and removal of current renters has been opposed by the tenants based Movement for Justice in el Barrio.[5][6][7]
