Transactions include the recent purchase of a £30m office and restaurant block in Mayfair for middle eastern clients which was transacted in six working days, purchase, letting and subsequent sale of a £36m office block, a £20million development opportunity in Poland Street, Soho for institutional clients, a £79million office building in Euston, and the purchase and onward sale of a terrace of 14 buildings comprising the entire southern side of Bedford Square. Colliers Godfrey Vaughan also specialise in the acquisition and disposal of office buildings for owner occupiers. Details of all our transactions can be found in our recent transactions page.
