It is HGP’s first investment with City & Docklands and the largest investment it has made since the expansion of the HGP III Fund this year.
This deal is funded by HGP’s parent company, Lloyds Banking Group, to accelerate equity investment into larger urban schemes and a wider range of residential sectors.
Rachel Miller, investment director at HGP, said: “The transaction represents HGP’s ambition in scaling up our investments to tackle housing challenges, and our remit to support the growth of our development partners.”
Anna Bulach, investment analyst at Cheyne Capital Real Estate, said: “The development occupies an important position at the eastern gateway to one of the largest regeneration projects in the UK. We look forward to seeing North Kensington Gate lead the way for similar developments in the area in the coming years.”
