The Crown Estate has awarded the legal mandate for its £7bn central London portfolio to BLP, following a tender process commenced in the summer of 2016.
The portfolio comprises 8m sq ft of commercial property across Regent Street, W1, and around half of St James’s, SW1.
It is currently delivering a £1.5bn investment and redevelopment programme in the area.
Rob Booth, general counsel and company secretary at the Crown Estate, said: “We are delighted to add BLP to the roster of market-leading firms that comprise our panel. We are very excited to be working with the team at BLP to take customer focus and legal service delivery forward, across our central London portfolio.”
Chris de Pury, head of real estate, said: “We are well aware how competitive it is to win such a prestigious mandate, so you can imagine how thrilled we are to be appointed. It is a privilege to be able to play a part acting for the Crown Estate on such a high-profile and groundbreaking portfolio.”
