Management
Today the estate continues to be managed by the Portman Estate management company, owned by Christopher Portman, 10th Viscount Portman.
The estate is either the freeholder of or directly manages 633 properties which include some 800 flats and houses, 215 offices, 130 shops and restaurants, 32 hotels and 8 pubs: in all some 2,000,000-square-foot (190,000 m2) of space. The company promotes a particular area of its estate (Seymour Place and New Quebec Street) which is occupied by boutiques and restaurants as the Portman Village, and publishes its own magazine for tenants on the estate.
In addition to its core landlord operation, the Portman Estate runs The Portman Foundation, a charitable trust which supports charities and other causes which are located in or benefit the Marylebone area.
