Banimmo completes the sale of a retail asset in France
____________________________________________________________________________
Paris, May 13 2011 – Banimmo (NYSE Euronext BANI) has sold a retail asset to a French institutional investor.
_____________________________________________________________________________
The complex develops 8,000 m² and is composed out of a supermarket of 3,400 m², approximately thirty shops for a total surface of 4,600 m² and of 240 parking units. It is located in Clamart (Hauts de Seine) nearby Paris.
The complex has been acquired in 2008 in the framework of a sale on plan (VEFA or « Vente en Etat Futur d'Achèvement ») and has been entirely rented up by the teams of Cushman & Wakefield and Banimmo France in 2009.
The net sale price amounts to €20 millions and represents a yield of 7%.
Taking costs and limited rental guarantees granted to the acquirer into account, the sale generates a capital gain.
Other sales transactions are in different progress stages.
