After a holding period of less than one and a half years the building was sold for £50 million. The yield on equity for IVG's investors is significantly in the double-digits range. The buyer is The Regent Street Partnership a joint venture between The Crown Estate and Norges Bank Investment Management.
Ali Abbas, Head of UK Transactions at IVG commented, "The quick sale was primarily based on the very good working relationship between IVG and The Crown Estate and in particular, their strategic approach towards Regent Street to realign and secure this area as one of the first class destinations of retail and office space."
