Greycoat will asset manage the 150,000 sq ft office block for Ivanhoé Cambridge.
The building is principally let to Deloitte.
Ivanhoé Cambridge vice president, Europe, Meka Brunel, said: “London is one of the key European cities in which Ivanhoé Cambridge wants to build a critical mass of high-quality assets.
“Stonecutter Court’s location in Midtown and its overall features respond precisely
to our long-term investment objectives.”
