A QATARI-LED consortium looked set to win its long-running battle to buy Songbird Estates on Wednesday after the owner of London's Canary Wharf business district dropped its opposition to the US$4 billion offer.
Songbird said that it still thought the price undervalued the estate but with no rival bid forthcoming and holders of 86 per cent of the shares backing the deal, it said that its minority investors should accept.
