PATRIZIA, a leading partner for global real assets, has acted on behalf of Link, the largest REIT in Asia, as adviser and asset manager for the acquisition of an office building at 25 Cabot Square in Canary Wharf, London, for c. EUR 420 million.
This Grade A asset which underwent extensive refurbishment and extension work over six years to March 2020 offers highly stable and secure rental income backed by strong tenants such as Morgan Stanley and UK government departments.
"We are very pleased to work with Link on their debut transaction in the UK, highlighting our ability to execute transactions during this current time of uncertainty. Given our unparalleled local knowledge and a strong track record in Europe, we are open to further work on similar projects for a range of potential global institutional clients,” says Jamie Younger, Head of Transactions, UK and Ireland.
PATRIZIA has built a very strong track record in performing investment management services on behalf of large Asian clients. Wendy Lai, Director Capital Markets PATRIZIA Hong Kong, explains: “PATRIZIA has raised over EUR 3 billion in equity over the past few years from Asian investors offering a best in class integrated service to our clients.”
