Robin Carr, head of UK and co-chief investment officer at Aerium, said: β€œHaving managed this asset for the past eight years, initially under our own ownership and latterly on behalf of Hanwha Life, we’re intricately aware of its appeal as a unique investment proposition.

β€œWith our asset management programme now having been successfully executed, we’re handing One Wood Street over to KanAm Grund Group in prime condition and with the benefit of a strong covenant providing long-term stable income.”
