MetLife will provide £149.5m and TH Real Estate, acting on behalf of TIAA-CREF, will advance £124.6m for the properties, which have a yield of 5%.

The term of the fixed-rate loan is 10 years and loan-to-value ratio is 55%.

The properties are adjacent to each other and provide 480,000 sq ft of office space.

About 97% of the income on 123 Buckingham Palace Road comes from tenants Google, PA Consulting, Eni and Sky Media.

Peng Han Lee of Gaw Capital Partners said: “This is a rare and wonderful opportunity to reunite such a large estate in a prime area of London’s West End after two decades of separate ownership.”
