We were retained to advise on the sale of 2–8a Rutland Gate, a premier London property overlooking Hyde Park and widely recognized as one of the city’s most valuable private residences. The client’s objective was to discreetly identify and qualify a buyer capable of completing a transaction of this scale under strict confidentiality and within a defined timeframe. We were brought into the transaction by the Geneva based multi- family office of the UBO.

​

The assignment required a delicate balance of relationship management, global network leverage, and strategic negotiation. We were not merely finding a buyer, we were managing reputation, ensuring discretion, and maintaining value integrity for one of the world’s most visible real estate assets.
