The building is expected to sell for about £200 million (RM1.2 billion), according to two people with knowledge of the matter, asking not to be identified as the matter is private.

Spokesmen for Gatehouse declined to comment on the building's value. Tabung Haji could not be immediately reached for comment and Savills declined to comment on the sale.

Tabung Haji purchased the Queen Street Place building in the City of London financial district in 2012 for £165 million, according to a statement at the time from Gatehouse Bank.
