Via New York And Hong Kong: How International Private Wealth Gets To Manchester

LJ Partnership, the London-headquartered private wealth and real estate partnership which owns the 100K SF Albert Square Estate in central Manchester, has sold a 40% stake in the business to Dilmun, a New York based family office originally from the Middle East.

LJ will rebrand to Alvarium Investments from 2019.

The group currently supervises in excess of £11B assets on behalf of individuals, family offices, foundations and charities.

The group’s global shareholder base, which now spans the Far East, the Gulf and the Americas, includes Hong Kong-based Peterson Group, who are already known in Manchester as investors in Trilogy’s Great Northern Goods Warehouse redevelopment.
