Shaun O’Brien, property investment and development director for CRT Property Investments Ltd, commented: “Our main objective is to drive investment back into former mining communities, so when this unit became available it made sense for us to purchase it. This is a quality building in a great location, we’re pleased to add it to our growing portfolio.

“Once again Blue Marble has identified the very highest quality property and investment opportunity.”

Tim Matthews, chief executive of Blue Marble Asset Management, said: “This is another cracking off market deal we have delivered for CRT Property Investments Ltd. Unit 9A is a high profile unit for which we will now implement a very clear business plan to maximise its performance over the coming months and years.”
