Grosvenor Group, the centuries-old British property group owned by the billionaire Duke of Westminster, plans to sell its direct U.S. real estate holdings valued at about £700 million (US$954 million) as it pivots towards indirect investments in the region, Bloomberg News and other sources reported.
The sale will happen “over a period of time,” probably three to five years, James Raynor, the group’s property CEO, said in an interview. Brokers are being appointed to market the assets on a case-by-case basis, he added. The holdings include assets in the Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, DC and Seattle markets.
