MiddleCap, a real estate focused European investment company, today announces it has acquired the long leasehold interest in Seal House from Sellar which is retained as development manager to take the scheme forward.
Located adjacent to London Bridge, Seal House is a 1970’s office building on the north bank of the Thames and represents MiddleCap’s second UK property investment.
Two different schemes for the redevelopment of Seal House, which was completed in 1978, have been designed by Eric Parry Architects, including a refurbishment proposal.
Planning has been granted for a redevelopment of Seal House that would create over 200,000 sq ft of office, retail and restaurant space and features a public roof garden with fantastic views over the Thames and the City.
Johnathan Crawley, MiddleCap’s UK Managing Director, said: “We are delighted to have acquired Seal House and expand our UK property portfolio. We look forward to working with the Sellar team and will now consider which of the development options to take forward for this fantastic riverside site.”
Tomas Jurdak, MiddleCap’s Real Estate Partner, added: “The acquisition of Seal House underlines our commitment to the London Property Market. Importantly, it also ensures we are creating a balanced portfolio across Europe.”
MiddleCap’s other UK property development is the 70,000 sq ft Southworks in Rushworth Street, Southwark which is due to complete towards the end of 2020.
James Sellar, Sellar’s Chief Executive, commented: “We are delighted to have concluded the sale of our long leasehold interest in Seal House to MiddleCap, which we believe is a testament to the strength of the London office market and the city’s global appeal given the challenging political climate.
“It has been a pleasure working closely with both the City of London Corporation and The Fishmongers Livery Company, which owns the freehold of Seal House, over the past few years to create viable development proposals. We now look forward to working alongside MiddleCap to deliver a fantastic addition to the City office landscape.”
Knight Frank and Addleshaw Goddard advised MiddleCap while Savills/CBRE and CMS acted for Sellar.

The German Nürburgring witnessed the first-ever victory of the Slovak driver in the Ferrari Challenge series on this circuit. Already in the third race of the premiere season in the series recorded the premiere victory Matúš Výboh, a partner in MiddleCap Group S.A. Matúš spoils in the colours of Scuderie Praha. Like the other drivers, he was sitting behind the wheel of the Ferrari 488 special.

On the famous German circuit Nürburgring sounded Saturday, July 6, 2019 Slovak anthem. It happened after Matúš Výboh, as the first of the starting field saw the checkered flag. The riders showed the spectators an exciting race full of twists and hard fights, especially at the head of the starting field. Matúš Výboh has been driving consistently fast times all the time.

He came to the forefront when he took full advantage of Talian Emanuel Maria Tabacchi’s only hesitation in round 12. Since then, the Rossocorsa rider has kept in contact with Trofeo Pirelli leaders with a comfortable lead over his pursuers. Martin Nelson of Scuderia Autoropa came second after Tabacchi twist, but the Italian tried very aggressively to regain the lost position.

The experienced Swede resisted the pressure and crossed the finish line behind the winning Matúš Výboh from Slovakia, only three-tenths of a second in front of  Tabacchi. Christian Overgaard (Forza Racing) finished fourth with Oliver Plassmann (Autohaus Ulrich) just behind him in fifth place.

The Nürburgring race was the fifth round of the Ferrari Challenge series. The Italian Imola is still waiting for the riders in September and the world final will be at Mugello circuit at the end of October. The Ferrari Challenge series has been running since 1993 and has been approved by the FIA.

Scuderia Praha Ferrari Challenge’s general partner is MiddleCap Group S.A.
