The Commercial Real Estate department at Harold Benjamin were instructed earlier this year on the acquisition of a vacant commercial property. The site had the benefit of planning permission which allowed for the demolition of the current building and the subsequent development of eight residential flats. The purchaser, a sophisticated property developer, used their own construction team for the build. This client was represented by David Eder.
