· Hansastrasse, Dortmund, a 42,902 sq. ft
(3,986 sqm) office building originally constructed 1957,

As previously
announced, the completion of the sale of Quatuor in Paris for €11.1
million, 2.8% ahead of the June 2023 valuation, completed on 14 May
and the sale of Westminster Tower in London for £40.8 million,
in-line with its 31 December 2023 valuation, completed on 7 June
with half of the sale proceeds received and the remainder deferred
for three months.
The sales process
for Spring Mews Student (PBSA) has generated significant interest
and we have received first stage bids from several parties that we
are currently analysing.
Fredrik Widlund,
Chief Executive Officer of CLS, commented:
"We remain focused on
having the highest quality, sustainable, modern offices in our
locations. Both properties recently sold were part of previous
portfolio acquisitions and no longer align with our long-term
strategic objectives. We have significant opportunities in our
portfolio and the disposals are in line with our previously
announced strategy to reduce leverage in preparation for
growth."
