The three projects have government-backed revenue streams, linked to inflation, which John Laing says will "provide JLIF with a low risk, stable income."
One of the firm's investment advisers, Andrew Charlesworth, said the deal met JLIF's criteria: "these three projects, located in the heart of London's prime real estate market, are operationally mature, with minimal retained risk and stable cash flows".
