RDC Properties has given up its year-long pursuit of property sector rival, PrimeTime, after its hostile takeover bid failed to secure the shareholder buy-in it sought.

RDC Properties closed an initial offer to PrimeTime shareholders on August 1 and this week announced that those who expressed interest in participating were less than the 44% equity stake it was seeking in the rival firm.
