CPPIB launches sale of Nova stake

CPPIB has officially launched the sale of its 50% stake in Nova, the mixed-use development in Victoria, SW1, that it owns with Landsec.

Eastdil Secured has been instructed to look for buyers.

The scheme, which is based on a 5.5-acre site and includes Nova North, Nova South and The Nova Building, comprises residential, commercial and retail space.

Although Landsec is not actively looking to sell its 50% stake in Nova, it is understood that both parties would consider any offers put forward for the whole development.

The entire joint holding, which has been priced at £900m, reflects a net initial yield of 4.5%.

Nova became fully let in December with the final 10,000 sq ft being taken by Nord Anglia Education.

Other tenants include SNC-Lavalin and its Atkins and Faithful+Gould businesses, Vitol, Brambles, BHP Billiton, Egon Zehnder and LEK Consulting.

Around 200,000 sq ft of mixed-use space, known as Nova East, is still to be built.

Landsec declined to comment. CPPIB has been contacted for comment.
