Singapore investment firm GIC is buying a multibillion dollar stake in a mega-office complex in London's main financial district, adding to its portfolio of prominent properties globally.


It is acquiring private equity firm Blackstone's 50 per cent interest in Broadgate, in a deal said to be worth over £1.7 billion (S$3.5 billion).


This transaction is believed to be GIC's largest-ever property foray in Europe, and is also its biggest-known investment this year, based on public announcements. Analysts said it is also one of Europe's biggest-ever office deals.


Broadgate is located near Liverpool Street station and is touted as a 'world-class' office complex with a cluster of 17 buildings, shops and restaurants. The development spans 4.7 million sq ft on 12ha of land.
