Kenmore Chief Executive John Kennedy said: "We were finding it difficult nearly 12 months ago to find value in the market and have spent this time tidying up the existing portfolio and formalising some existing joint venture arrangements. To that end, Kenmore have in the order of £250 million to spend across all sectors in what should be interesting times ahead."
The vendor was represented by King Sturge and the purchaser by Mason Phillips.
