Derwent London Sells Fitzrovia Office for £110.5m to Fund Higher-Return Projects

An update from Derwent London plc REIT ( (GB:DLN) ) is now available.

Derwent London has agreed to sell its Fitzrovia office asset at 90 Whitfield Street W1 to Lone Star Real Estate for £110.5 million, implying a capital value of about £1,100 per sq ft and a 5.0% net initial yield, with completion expected in August 2026. The 103,500 sq ft freehold, developed in 2007 and currently 88% occupied with a WAULT to break of 3.7 years, generates £5.9 million in annual passing income and the disposal is expected to be broadly earnings neutral while helping to lower the group’s leverage ratios.

Management describes the building as a relatively mature property and frames the transaction as part of its ongoing capital recycling strategy within its central London office portfolio. Proceeds are earmarked for higher-return opportunities, including capex at major development projects where the company anticipates attractive internal rates of return, underscoring a continued focus on reinvesting into assets and initiatives that can strengthen long-term income growth and reinforce Derwent London’s positioning in the prime London office market.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:DLN) stock is a Buy with a £2113.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Derwent London plc REIT stock, see the GB:DLN Stock Forecast page.
