Benson Elliot doubles up in Ealing with off-market buy

摘要

Benson Elliot is close to buying a 135,000 sq ft office building in Ealing, west London, as it doubles the amount of money it has spent in the area during the past 12 months on the back of Crossrail-related growth prospects. Standard Life Investments and Neptune Developments' Ealing Cross is under offer to the private equity firm, which bought the nearby Arcadia shopping centre site last year. Market sources said contracts for the eight-floor property were likely to be exchanged in the next couple of weeks.
