American fund Cerberus purchased all the loans held by Northern Ireland-based debtors of Nama in the £1.3bn Project Eagle transaction.

The proposed sale by Lambert Smith Hampton of the Kennedy assets, which include a retail park in Londonderry and a plot of residential land next to Portstewart Strand, is the first major sale in Northern Ireland by Cerberus.

Stuart Draffin, Lambert Smith Hampton, said: “We are encouraged by the level of interest in the assets from speculators, developers and end users. The portfolio comprises residential and commercial development sites, office, retail and industrial.
