Royal Liver Building

Barings Real Estate Advisers, part of Barings LLC, one of the world’s largest diversified real estate investment managers, announces that it has arranged a c. €34.57m (£29.65m) financing facility for investment manager Corestate, to support the c. €56m (£48m) acquisition of the Royal Liver Building, a Grade A office building in Liverpool, UK on behalf of an institutional investor.

 

The Royal Liver Building is an iconic 328,800 ft² Grade A refurbished office building which is integral to Liverpool’s UNESCO designated World Heritage Waterfront and this transaction marks the first time that the Grade I listed property has been brought to the market since its grand opening in 1911, as the headquarters of the Royal Liver Assurance Group. The asset is well-positioned to benefit from the sponsor’s expertise in prime assets and strategy to preserve and strengthen its historic character through a substantial investment programme.

 

Chris Bates, Head of Real Estate Core Mortgage Europe, said: “This iconic deal is a strong endorsement of the flexibility of our European debt platform, as we continue to work with a wide range of investor and borrower requirements across both senior and structured debt in the European markets.”
