Acting on behalf of Invesco Real Estate Strutt & Parker has completed the purchase of 107 Cheapside in the City for £124m.

The fund manager has bought the building from Irish investor Menolly on behalf of the iii-BVK Europa-Immobilien-Spezialfonds, a German property fund it manages.

The 183,000 sq ft building is let to 13 tenants at an average of £39 per sq ft, which produces £7.5m in rent. The largest tenant is law firm Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, which took 45,000 sq ft at £42.50 per sq ft in 2009.

The asset was completed and let during the downturn, and has reversionary potential. It was owned by Menolly Investments, the commercial investment arm of Menolly Homes, one of Ireland's biggest housebuilders.

Rob Johnston, Invesco's senior director of UK Transactions said: "Cheapside is considered to be one of the City of London's most sought after office and retail locations as well as being the City's main retail thoroughfare. The area has benefitted from significant improvement in the past five years with the completion of a number of major development and refurbishment projects, further enhancing its reputation as a prime City location and ensuring the area continues to attract leading occupiers. The development of 100 Cheapside, which is on the adjacent site to our property, will further improve Cheapside in our view."
