Billionaires Simon and David Reuben’s investment company is buying the project from Rafael Serrano Quevedo’s Prime Investors Capital, according to an emailed statement. The Spanish developer was selected by the UK government as the preferred bidder for the building in 2012, acquiring a 250-year lease for £60 million ($73.8 million).
