Blackrock International Land sells UK office building
Blackrock International Land plc is pleased to announce that it has completed the sale of an office investment in Milton Keynes for €3.85 million, considerably higher than the property's valuation at last year end. This transaction is the company's second disposal in 2010, having sold a warehouse and office facility in Dundalk earlier in the year for €2.9 million.
This latest disposal, which was concluded with a UK property investment company, comprised a 1,570m² office building located at Silbury Boulevard, Milton Keynes, that is currently occupied by Royal Bank of Scotland under a lease that is due to expire in 2014.
In March this year, the company reported that it had disposed of a 3,700m² vacant industrial premises to Warner Chilcott, the international pharmaceutical manufacturer. The building formed part of the group's 17,000m² warehouse and office complex at Xerox Office Park, Dundalk.
Commenting on the transaction, Robert Knox, managing director of Blackrock International Land plc, said:
"We are pleased that, despite the challenging operating environment, we have completed our second disposal in 2010 on very satisfactory terms."
