Dragons’ Den panellist James Caan has bought a West End HQ for his private equity firm, Hamilton Bradshaw.
Caan has bought the 6,500 sq ft 15 Cavendish Square, W1, to house any companies he may invest in through the next series of the BBC2 show.
“We wanted one central location to manage potential investments, which could include up to five more projects this year,” he said.
Caan paid Royal Bank of Scotland around £7m for the vacant building, which was occupied by private bank Coutts.
Hamilton Bradshaw is based at 18 Hanover Square, W1, where it occupies 1,000 sq ft from serviced offices group Avanta – one of Caan’s first start-up investments.
It sold out of the group last January, when founder and chief executive David Alberto took it over in a Kenmore-backed management buyout.
Drivers Jonas and NB Real Estate advised RBS Hamilton Bradshaw was unrepresented.
