Progress on divesting non-strategic properties
DEXUS Property Group (DEXUS) today announced that it had entered into an unconditional contract to sell 10-16 South Street, Rydalmere.
The industrial property was sold for $43.25 million with deferred settlement expected to occur by February 2014. The sale price represents a 4.2% premium to the 30 June 2013 book value of $41.5 million and is in line with the expected 31 December 2013 built up book value.
DEXUS CEO, Darren Steinberg said: “We were able to achieve an attractive sale price following recent leasing success, attracting three new tenants and as a result increasing occupancy to over 93%.
“The sale further progresses our objective of divesting non-strategic properties and follows the sale of two other properties, 40-50 Talavera Road, Macquarie Park for $28.2 million on 1 August 2013 and our remaining European industrial property at Wustermark, Berlin for €6.1 million which settled on 13 August 2013.”
The $1.5 billion DXS industrial portfolio comprises 47 quality properties located primarily in the key growth markets of Sydney and Melbourne. DEXUS’s strategy is to invest in modern functional high quality industrial facilities that deliver superior risk adjusted returns to investors.
Since 30 June 2013, DEXUS has sold or contracted to sell $80.5 million[1] of non-strategic properties with proceeds to be used to repay debt.
