Buyer of Royal Mint Court Stake Revealed 220514

Buyer of Royal Mint Court stake revealed 22 May 2014 | By Mike Phillips A little-known private investor has beaten off UK property aristocracy to buy the long leasehold of the former site of the Royal Mint out of receivership, Property Week can reveal. Yehuda Barashi, an investor in European property, has paid £49.5m for the long leasehold of Royal Mint Court, a campus of buildings on the Eastern fringe of the City of London. The buildings sit on the site where the UK’s currency was minted for more than 170 years. Barashi bought the leasehold through his company LRC and beat off competition from Delancey, which owns the freehold, to complete the deal. Royal Mint Court totals 460,000 sq ft of office buildings on a 5.5 acre walled site next to the Tower of London. It includes a grade II-listed building designed by Sir Robert Smirke and built in 1807. It was the main site of the Royal Mint until the end of the 1970s, when production transferred to a new site in Wales. The modern office buildings on the site were built in the 1980s. The receivership was made because of a breach of covenant of an £85m loan secured against what is essentially a 50% ownership stake in the complex bought in 2002 by Irish investors Tom Quinn and Donal O’Mahoney for £95m. The other 50% is owned by Delancey, which owns the freehold, and is not in receivership. Savills and Grant Thornton were receivers and administrators advising on the insolvency process. The price paid is significantly more than the asking price sought when the interest went up for sale in February. The leases of the two main tenants, Barclays and Old Mutual, expired at the end of 2013. LRC would need to reach an agreement with Delancey before any strategy to refurbish, redevelop or relet the buildings could be undertaken. Capita is advising the lenders to the scheme, a group of bondholders. Brookland Partners advised the purchaser. All parties declined to comment. .

Appendix 4 Aldgate and Tower Key Area of Change
Appendix 4 Aldgate and Tower Key Area of Change Context This area contains a mix of uses, including offices, Sir John Cass Primary School, Mansell and Middlesex Street housing estates, part of Petticoat Lane market, hotels and tourist activity associate with the Tower of London. There have been considerable improvements to the area in recent years, with the Aldgate Gyratory being removed and replaced with a large public square created stimulating further change. Major hotel and office development is under construction on Minories, an application has been submitted for redevelopment of the Mansell Street Estate and several large office sites currently have development potential. These proposals and opportunities will impact the use and environment of the area. The Chinese Embassy will be moving to Royal Mint Court just outside of the City boundary and this may lead to further diplomatic and commercial interest in this area. Spatial Extent This area is positioned in the east of the City between the City's eastern cluster of tall buildings and Tower Hamlets. The southern edge of the area is adjacent to the Tower of London and on the northern edge is the Middlesex Street estate. Vision The area will be promoted and protected as a mixed use area which balances the competing needs and requirements of residents, students, workers and visitors. Diplomatic use and associated commercial activity will be encouraged. The needs of residents, particularly those on Middlesex Street and Mansell Street Estates will be addressed, maximising employment, health, education, recreation, retail facilities and opportunities. Provision will be made to meet the needs of visitors to the area, particularly around Aldgate Square and the Tower of London, , and appropriate hotel provision provided.
