Sidra Capital acquires prime commercial building in London’s Mayfair

Property will deliver the right type of space that occupiers will need post Covid-19.

London, June 9, 2020 – Sidra Capital has acquired a prime commercial freehold building in Hertford Street, Mayfair, London W1, demonstrating its confidence in London and the U.K post Brexit and Co-vid 19. The off-market transaction was acquired on an all equity basis in a very short time frame.

Hani Baothman, Chairman of Sidra Capital commented “We are delighted to acquire this strategic property in Mayfair which complements our existing U.K. portfolio. When the business plan is completed it will deliver the right type of space that occupiers will need post Covid-19. We remain positive on the UK real estate market which provided an advantageous entry point due to the value of Sterling dropping 18 percent since the Brexit referendum.

Mr Baothman added: “With an existing portfolio amounting to GBP 1bn in the UK and capital ready to deploy, we continue to look at a number of yielding and value-add opportunities across the U.K. and mainland Europe.” Sidra Capital offers global reach and outlook and has been an active player in the UK real estate scene since 2011. With a fully integrated platform and dedicated London office established in 2017, the company offers investors direct access into the UK and European property markets.
