中渝置地拟收购伦敦“奶酪刨”摩天楼

CC Land, a company controlled by the Chinese property magnate Cheung Chung-kiu, is in advanced talks to buy London’s “Cheesegrater” skyscraper for more than £1bn.

中国房地产大亨张松桥(Cheung Chung-kiu)控股的中渝置地(CC Land)已进入深入阶段谈判，拟斥资逾10亿英镑收购伦敦的“奶酪刨”摩天楼(Cheesegrater)。

The Hong Kong-listed group is seeking to buy out both British Land and Canada’s Oxford Properties for £1.02bn, said a person close to the discussions. They are joint-venture partners in the building.

一位知情人士表示，这家香港上市集团正在寻求以10.2亿英镑从英国地产公司(British Land)和加拿大Oxford Properties买下“奶酪刨”摩天楼的全部权益。两个卖家是这栋建筑的合资伙伴。

If completed, the deal, first reported by CoStar News, will be one of the largest Chinese purchases of UK property. It would highlight a trend of Chinese capital flowing into real estate around the world.

这笔交易最早是由CoStar News报道的。交易如果完成，将成为中国企业在英国房地产行业最大的收购案之一。它将凸显出中国资本流入世界各地房地产的趋势。

The 225m-high Cheesegrater, officially called the Leadenhall Building, was completed in 2013 by Rogers, Stirk, Harbour + Partners. It broke records for rents in the City of London when it was let to mainly insurance-linked companies.

正式名称为兰特荷大厦(Leadenhall Building)的“奶酪刨”摩天楼高225米，于2013年由罗杰斯事务所(Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners)完成。当它被租给主要与保险业务相关的公司时，打破了伦敦金融城(City of London)的租金纪录。

Its sale is being closely followed as an indicator of the health of Britain’s property market after the country’s vote last year to leave the EU. That caused an immediate drop in real estate prices.

人们正密切关注这笔交易，把它视为去年退欧公投——直接造成房地产价格下滑——后英国房地产市场健康状况的指标。

British Land said that it and Oxford Properties, which each own 50 per cent of the building, were “in advanced discussions regarding the possible sale of their interests in the Leadenhall Building . . . It is not certain that these discussions will lead to a sale”.

英国地产公司称，它正与Oxford Properties(各自拥有该建筑50%的股份)“就出售其在兰特荷大厦的权益的可能性进行深入讨论……目前尚不确定是否会出售该大厦”。

CC Land said: “We do not comment on market rumours.”

中渝置地表示：“我们不对市场传言置评。”

Oxford Properties declined to comment.
