The property investor, which has its UK office at Slough in Berkshire, has arranged to sell West Cross Industrial Park in Brentford to Legal & General Property in an all-cash transaction.

This 459,000 sq ft mixed-use park features offices, leisure facilities and retail warehouses and currently houses 28 clients, including BSkyB, NTL and DSG Retail which trades as PC World.
