By GlobalDataQuintain Estates & Developments chief executive Maxwell James said the agreement allows the company to establish a sustainable development programme for Wembley Park and recycle capital into its London investment portfolio in order to create better returns for shareholders.
"This joint venture unlocks value for shareholders from our largest London asset, paving the way for the delivery of more new homes at Wembley into a supply-constrained London housing market," James said.
Keystone Group chairman Giorgio Laurenti said, "We first cemented our partnership through the successful acquisition of the Wembley student accommodation building in 2011 and are pleased to continue investing in Wembley as the area regenerates into an increasingly vibrant location."
