'For an investor of the scale and reputation of GIC to have selected Orchard Street a third time to launch a fund is a strong endorsement of the strength of our working relationship,' commented Philip Gadsden (pictured), managing partner at Orchard Street.

The fund will have an initial £150 mln (€170 mln) investment capacity and will look to purchase assets across the UK, with a strategy of actively managing its acquisitions.

'We are confident the fund will attract high-quality assets with stable income streams,' Gadsden added.
