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 EUR3.85 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 EUR2.9 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."
