McKay Securities Plc (McKay) has a sold an office in London´s square mile.
The asset at 30 Lombard Street in the City of London, was purchased for £76.5 mln (€89.7 mln) by an unnamed party.
Providing 5,434 m2 across 11 floors, the building is occupied on a 15-year lease which generates £1.1 mln (€1.3 mln) a year, by St. James's Place plc, a FTSE 100 wealth manager.
The property was redeveloped early in 2019 and holds a BREEAM ‘excellent’ rating.
Completion of the sale is expected to take three months. McKay said it will use proceeds from the transaction to pay down debt, prior to re-investment in new acquisitions and portfolio opportunities.

Knight Frank acted for McKay and BNP Paribas acted for the purchaser.
