Joint venture at Royal Mint Court
Delancey is pleased to confirm that its client DV4 has formed a joint venture with the LRC Group of companies in respect of Royal Mint Court, a 5.5 acre office campus situated on the eastern fringe of the City, adjacent to the Tower of London.
DV4 has owned the freehold interest since it acquired it from the Crown Estate in 2010. LRC became involved in the property when it acquired the debt secured on the headleasehold interests in 2014.
The majority of the 466,000 sq ft of office and ancillary accommodation is now vacant and the whole scheme is ripe for a refurbishment or redevelopment.
The joint venture between DV4 and LRC will enable this to happen with Delancey appointed to secure planning consent for a scheme over the next 12 months.
Although an office scheme is an obvious possibility given the strength of the eastern fringe office market in London, all options remain open at this time. The unusual nature of the property; being four buildings arranged around a green on a large 5.5 acre site means it could have a wide appeal to a variety of occupiers.
