THE investment arm of Co Tyrone construction group McAleer and Rushe has bought a major office development in West London for an undisclosed sum.

MRP has been confirmed as the buyer for Liberty House in Hammersmith.

The development spans 90,000 sq ft of office space across two buildings on Hammersmith Road, next to the headquarters of Harrods.

Liberty House was sold by the real estate manager Catella APAM on behalf of its Danish client Britannia Invest A/S.

The announcement of the deal comes just weeks after MRP reported a pre-tax profit of £31.8 million for the year ending September 30 2022, on a turnover of £110m.

Angus Monteith, development director at MRP said: “The purchase of 76 and 80 Hammersmith Road is a rare opportunity to reposition a 1.4-acre freehold site in West London, adding to our strong portfolio of development and investment sites in key cities across the UK.

“We are delighted to reach agreement with APAM and Britannia Invest A/S.”
