Goldman Sachs has purchased the 109-asset Marble portfolio for around £110m, pipping Pears Group to the sale.
It follows significant activity for Goldman in the portfolios market in 2014. It purchased the £60m Neon portfolio, a £500m Travelodge portfolio and bid on both the £240m Project Titan and £150m Project Tree.
Pears is understood to have led the pack after the second round of bids, before Goldman entered an exclusivity period in the past week.
