CIC in talks to buy 2nd London property
Print Edition
China Investment Corp is set to buy Chiswick Park, a west London office development, from US private equity group Blackstone for about 800 million pounds (US$1.3 billion), the Financial Times said yesterday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The talks are at an advanced stage and a deal could be finalized before end of November, the FT said.
If successful, the deal would be the second acquisition by CIC in the UK property market after it bought Deutsche Bank’s City of London headquarters last year, the newspaper added.
Real estate has been the chief driver of Blackstone’s financial success and it has moved aggressively to sell or take public its real estate assets. Brixmor Property Group Inc, the shopping center operator owned by Blackstone, raised US$825 million its initial public offering last month.
On its 133,546-square-meter site, Chiswick Park leases out office space to companies, including Qualcomm, Tullow Oil Plc and Ranbaxy.
Blackstone declined to comment on the matter.
