A UK real estate investment venture created by Conren Land, Indigo Invest and Dartriver London has bought a mixed-use building in London from hotel developer and operator Whitbread.

CLI Dartriver London, has bought the Zinc office and retail building at 68-86 Farringdon Road in a £39.8m (€46m) forward funding deal.

Upon completion, scheduled for early 2023, Zinc will comprise a total net area of 2.600sqm distributed over the first floor and five upper floors.

Roman Klasen, managing director at Conren Land, said: “Zinc is an exceptional building that will make its mark on the vibrant Farringdon district. That’s why this deal fits so well with Conren Land’s strategy for European cities: we acquire buildings which add real value both in terms of architecture and use to the surrounding area.�

In March 2020, Dartriver London teamed up with German investment firms Conren Land and Indigo Invest to build a £1bn London real estate development and investment portfolio. The trio created CLI Dartriver to invest predominantly in office and some mixed-use assets.
