Aberdeen Asset Management has sold Regis House, EC4, in the City to a private Middle Eastern investor for £105m – a net initial yield of 4.4%. 
The 105,000 sq ft office building has a net passing rent of £4.95m per annum, and an average weighted unexpired lease term of seven years.
Tenants include law firm Chadbourne & Parke, serviced office provider i2 Office, and technology solutions company Iress.
Aberdeen held the building in the Scottish Widows Pooled Property ACS Fund, a legacy fund from its acquisition of Scottish Widows Investment Partnership from Lloyds Banking Group in 2013.
Scottish Widows acquired the building from Land Securities in 2006 for £83m.
It is on the site previously occupied by the King William Street underground station, which was northbound terminus of the world’s first underground railway and closed in 1900.
