中国平安保险公司将以3.88亿美元的价格购买劳埃德保险在伦敦的房产。
The Lloyd's building is widely regarded as one of the most iconic properties in London The building, a landmark1 property in London and home to the world's leading insurance market, was owned by German asset management fund Commerz Real.
Chinese firms have been looking to buy assets in key markets in their quest to expand their presence globally.
Earlier this year, Dalian Wanda Group, a Chinese property developer, announced a £1bn investment in the UK.
Jon Crossfield, a director with Savills which advised on the Lloyd's of London building deal, said that it was "a potentially landmark transaction, given it is the first by a Chinese Insurance company overseas".
"It is a high profile and confident entry to the market for them and further illustrates2 the dominance of overseas investors3 in London at present."
Though Savills did not name the buyer in its statement, various reports, including that from China's state-owned Xinhua news agency said that it was Ping An Insurance.
