GRE Finance lends £7.35m to Aviv Comp for Islington property purchase




GRE Finance has completed a £7.35m loan for Aviv Comp — represented by property investment and development firm Elleric — for the purchase of an eight storey, 49,500 sq ft vacant freehold building in Islington, London.

The 70% LTV loan, agreed on an 18-month term, allowed the client to purchase The Marlborough Building from the City and Islington College.

The property — located on Holloway Road — is currently registered as use class F1 (learning and non-residential).

Fladgate LLP advised GRE Finance on this transaction.


Daniel Benton, co-founder and director at GRE Finance, said: “Elleric has an excellent track record for sourcing and delivering value-add projects in London and this is an exceptionally well-located site acquired by its client, Aviv Comp. 

“Following our loan against Lupus House in Covent Garden in September last year, it was a pleasure to work with the Elleric team again on another acquisition.”

Gil Levy, managing director at Elleric, added: “We are delighted to have been able to secure financing for this acquisition with GRE. 

“The building has great potential for value enhancement and we appreciated GRE’s commercial-led approach, understanding and support of our business plan.”
