The acquisition was for £127 million, and is one of the largest City of London office transactions this year. Al Salam’s portion of the funding was provided in accordance with Shariah principles. The senior debt was provided by Abbey National Treasury Services and Deutsche Genossenschafts-Hypothekenbank AG. The vendor was UBS Global Asset Management (UK) Limited.
