The headquarters of STV in Glasgow is one of two buildings in Scotland which have changed hands for a combined £36.6 million.
LondonMetric Property has sold the broadcaster’s Pacific Quay home and an 85,000 square feet office in Dundee which is occupied by telecommunications giant BT to a single buyer.
STV has a further 17 years to run on its lease for the 60,000 sq ft premises while the BT deal on Tayside runs for 17 and a half years.
LondonMetric acquired the assets when it merged with LXi REIT (real estate investment trust) in March this year.
Andrew Jones, chief executive of LondonMetric, said: "These are good, well-let assets. However, we continue to exit non-core sectors and geographies and reinvest in sectors where we have a competitive edge, and which are enjoying a structural tailwind."
LondonMetric was advised on the sale by Lismore Real Estate Advisors.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
