They are both held freehold and are leased to the Civil Aviation Authority until December 2019 at £6.2 million (7.5 million) per annum, reflecting an average rent of £27.11 per ft².
Commenting on the announcement, Mike Hussey, Chief Executive, Almacantar, said: "We are delighted to have acquired CAA House and 1 Kemble Street. The properties are a good fit for our portfolio extending the timeline for our value-add activities to 2020. It is a location that we expect to perform strongly given its proximity to Covent Garden and the restricted supply of office space in the West End."
Julian Stocks, Managing Director, Tishman Speyer, said: "We are very pleased to have sold this asset to Almacantar. The funds released will be put to work on our exciting development projects which are underway in Paris and Frankfurt."
