LONDON - Feb. 24, 2017 - PRLog -- The property has been one of Lothbury's central London assets since 2001. Lothbury completely redeveloped the building behind the existing façade in 2002/3 as part of its active development portfolio.

52 Bedford Row is let to law firm Wedlake Bell LLP with a lease expiry in December 2018. Wedlake Bell has recently vacated the building and moved into new premises.

Michael Toft, Senior Fund Manager and Executive Director of Lothbury Investment Management, said: "This has been a strong performing asset in a prime location but we are very pleased to have completed this sale. It reduces our central London weighting and has enabled us to crystallise a profit to valuation without taking the development and void risk."

Cushman and Wakefield acted for Lothbury; Michael Elliot acted for the purchaser.
