British Land will take possession of the site in late 2013 following the relocation of the Daily Mail General Trust's (DMGT) printing operations from Harmsworth Quays to Thurrock.
"The purchase of this large site adjoining our existing ownerships re-enforces our confidence in the area and demonstrates our continued commitment to the wider Canada Water regeneration and Rotherhithe," said British Land's Development Director Mike Rayner.
DGMT said it was changes in technology that had led to the relocation out of the area.
