Kam Babaee, Founder of K10 Group who constructed the property, said: “This rental deal is the largest ever paid to rent a new home in Mayfair and is also the largest upfront payment ever made to let a London home.
“When compared to the daily cost of renting a five star hotel suite in Knightsbridge or Mayfair, Culross House provides outstanding value-for-money and far more space and private facilities.”
She added: “The deal underlines the buoyancy of the super-prime lettings market in London at present.”
