LONDON, UK — February 2026. The Arora Group is pleased to announce the successful completion of the acquisition of The Metro Building in Hammersmith, London. The acquisition was made in conjunction with Deva Capital, the real estate and corporate capital solutions investment arm of Santander Alternative Investments.

The Metro Building is a prominent, high-specification office asset located in the heart of Hammersmith, comprising approximately 105,237 sq. ft. across the ground and ten upper floors. Situated immediately adjacent to Hammersmith Broadway, the building serves as a prime gateway to West London, offering exceptional transport connectivity.

This transaction marks a further deepening of the strategic partnership between the Arora Group and Deva Capital, following their joint acquisition of the landmark Novotel London West in late 2025. The purchase of The Metro Building underscores the partners' shared confidence in the Hammersmith commercial corridor and their commitment to acquiring high-potential assets that offer significant repositioning opportunities.

Sanjay Arora, CEO of the Arora Group, commented:

"The Metro Building is a fantastic addition to our portfolio. Its location is unparalleled in West London, and we see immense potential to enhance the asset through our signature approach to management and refurbishment. Partnering again with Deva Capital allows us to leverage our combined expertise to unlock long-term value in this vibrant commercial hub."

The Metro Building presents an exceptional opportunity for the Arora Group to reposition and enhance the existing building whilst also exploring the potential for a range of alternative uses.

Patrick Hablal, CIO of Deva Capital commented

“We are delighted to be joining forces with Arora on this acquisition which complements our recent acquisition of the Novotel Hammersmith”
