LKK Health Products Group (LKKHPG) has agreed to acquire London’s Walkie Talkie skyscraper 20 Fenchurch Street, EC3M from joint owners LandSec and Canary Wharf Group, for £1.28bn.

Developed by a joint venture (JV) between both the companies in 2010, the skyscraper 20 Fenchurch Street was completed in 2014.

The building comprises 671,000ft² of office space on 34 floors in the City of London’s insurance district, and features a new design.

It also features 17,000ft² of retail space on the ground floor and within the three-storey Sky Garden.

Landsec chief executive Robert Noel said: “The building has been an immensely successful project for Landsec and our partners.

“Its development in 2010 was part of Landsec’s major speculative development programme in the capital, which has seen the completion of 3.1 million cubic feet of office and retail space, thousands of jobs sustained in the construction industry, and considerable improvements to public spaces.
