Derwent London divests Bush House for £85m
Bush House, South West Wing WC2

London-focused real estate investment trust Derwent London has agreed to sell Bush House, South West Wing WC2, a 103,700 sq ft freehold office building, for £85 million.

Last year, Derwent London purchased the 7-year headlease interest in Bush House, South West Wing WC2 for £13.5m.

The building is being sold with vacant possession. This sale further reduces our low loan-to-value ratio and provides additional funds to invest in our development pipeline.

Paul Williams, Chief Executive of Derwent London, said: “The sale of Bush House has de-risked the refurbishment and resulted in the early crystallisation of our development return. As the flight to quality continues, we are focused on delivering our larger net zero carbon schemes at 25 Baker Street W1 and Network Building W1.”
