Walkie-Talkie deal prompts London office market debate

摘要

Last Thursday, Landsec and Canary Wharf Croup sold their 50% stakes in the Walkie-Talkie to LKK Health Products Group for £1.28Z5bn - the biggest office deal in UK history. All the numbers after the decimal point are important as had they been just slightly different observers believe it is unlikely Landsec chief executive Rob Noel would have been persuaded to sell his firm's stake. While Canary Wharf Croup's syndicated stake was put up for sale in the spring, Landsec's holding was never officially marketed.
