The final apartments at South Bank Tower have been sold to an international investor, reports CIT, the development manager for South Bank Tower.
The sale was advised by London-based real estate investment firm, Jackyl, for an amount in excess of £125m.
CIT has a long-term involvement in the reimagination of London’s south bank. Previous projects include the iconic Greater London Authority and Ernst & Young headquarter buildings at More London, and it will continue its work in Southwark following the recent acquisition of Vinegar Yard, a 0.6-acre former car park site on St Thomas Street.
Ed Nicholls, Head of Finance at CIT, said: “The latest purchase sees the end of the sales cycle at South Bank Tower and the completion of another landmark for Southwark, following the GLA and Ernst & Young HQs at More London. We continue to be invested in the future of the Southwark and look forward to being involved in its continued success.”
Residential sales at South Bank Tower were represented by CBRE and Savills. CBRE, assisted by Paradigm Land, advised Jackyl throughout the purchase.
Mark Collins, Chairman of Residential at CBRE UK, added: “South Bank Tower has received unwavering interest throughout the whole project cycle from investors and owner occupiers alike, who have appreciated the unique proximity to some of the world’s top higher education institutions, business districts and cultural hubs. The scheme has played an unprecedented role in transforming the South Bank neighbourhood and we anticipate that the tower will indefinitely remain one of the capital’s most iconic new landmarks.”
