Central London commercial deals completed in the year to date have reached £14bn, according to DTZ.
The transactions, which exclude hotel sales, reached £1.2bn in October.
Norges Bank’s purchase of Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s headquarters at 2 King Edward Street, EC1, from GIC Real Estate for £583m was the largest single transaction of the year.
Foreign investment was responsible for 64% of the total for the year to date.
Property currently under offer totals £1.6bn.
Sophy Moffat, a researcher in DTZ’s central London team, said: “A return of occupier confidence and signs of real rental growth returning to the central London occupational market are continuing to attract inward investment from domestic and international investors.”
