DB RREEF Trust secures 100% of US joint venture with CalWest

DB RREEF Trust has acquired the remaining 20% interest in the DB RREEF Industrial LLC joint venture with CalWest, taking its ownership to 100%.

The US joint venture with CalWest was established in 2004 when DB RREEF Trust acquired an 80% interest in a joint venture that, as at 30 June 2007, owned a US$1.46 (A$1.72) billion portfolio of 98 industrial properties diversified across 19 US metropolitan areas.

The acquisition price of CalWest’s 20% interest is approximately US$320 million. This price is based on the June 30 2007 valuations adjusted for subsequent cash flow items and CalPERS promote.

The transaction will be funded by assuming 20% of the joint venture’s debt (US$95m) and by utilising approximately US$225 million of debt which we anticipate will be reduced after the sale of the retail assets.

Victor Hoog Antink, CEO of DB RREEF, said “Acquiring CalWest’s 20% interest will provide DB RREEF Trust with greater flexibility to actively manage our US property interests, and deliver on our strategy to further expand our international portfolio.”
