Goldman London Office Bought by Chinese Estates

A building that’s part of Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s London headquarters was purchased by Chinese Estates Holdings Ltd. for about 280 million pounds ($444 million), the broker that advised on the sale said.

The New York-based bank has about 10 years left on its lease at River Court, a building on Fleet Street in the U.K. capital’s main financial district, Gresham Down Capital Partners said in a statement today. Warren & Partners bought the office for 246.5 million pounds in 2001 on behalf of a group of Irish investors, Gresham Down said.
