HSBC AND CREDIT SUISSE: A TALE OF TWO CANARY WHARF SALES

摘要

No matter what the state of the market, Canary Wharf seems to throw up a new sale-and-leaseback opportunity every year.In 2007 Metrovacesa clinched the HSBC building in a £1.2bn sale and leaseback.Then it was the turn of Irish investor Derek Quinlan and Glenn Maud's Propinvest in January 2008 when they teamed up to buy the Citi tower in a £lbn deal.It is no different in 2009 - except that this year there are two sale and leasebacks on offer.
