Centuria Property Funds Limited ( CPFL ), as Responsible Entity of Centuria Metropolitan REIT ( ASX:CMA ), is pleased to announce it has exchanged contracts for the divestment of 149 Kerry Road, Archerfield, QLD.

The sale price of $30.55 million represents an 8.7% premium to the asset’s latest book value, with settlement anticipated to occur in December 2018. The divestment to the Centuria Industrial REIT (CIP), on arm’s length terms, followed an on-market sales campaign.

Doug Hoskins, Acting Fund Manager of CMA, said: “The divestment of Kerry Road, Archerfield, at a premium to book value, demonstrates our continued focus on identifying initiatives to create value for unitholders. The sale is in line with our stated strategy to divest of our two remaining industrial assets repositioning CMA as one of Australia’s largest pure play office REITs.”
