Research compiled by Jones Lang LaSalle has established that the number one investor in office property in the City of London is the Asian investor. This section spent about £1.77 billion on office buildings this year which equates to more than a quarter of the total invested. Since 2010 London has seen £3.5 billion invested into offices in the City of London from Asian buyers alone.

A £400-million deal is about to be made by the government of Kuwait to acquire the Bank of America’s European headquarters. No office transaction of this size has been made in England since the start of the financial crisis and this could be a prominent sign of recovery.
