Sale of five European industrial properties

DEXUS Property Group (DEXUS) today announced the sale and settlement of five of its six remaining European industrial properties.

The properties located in France were sold for €16.5 million or A$21.3 million, broadly in line with the 31 December 2012 book value.

The properties include:

  • Isle d’Abeau, 19 Rue de Bretagne, 38070 Saint-Quentin Fallavier, Lyon

  • Zone Industrielle Epone II, 78680 Epone, Paris

  • Servon 1, Route Nationale 19 L’Orme Rond, 77170 Servon, Paris

  • Servon 2, Route Nationale 19 L’Orme Rond, 77170 Servon, Paris

  • 32 Avenue de l’Oceanie, 91140 Villejust, Paris

DEXUS CEO, Darren Steinberg said: “The sale of the majority of the European portfolio delivers on our strategic objective of divesting out of our non-core offshore markets and concentrating on our preferred Australian CBD office markets.”

The sale proceeds will be used to repay debt.

This latest sale follows the divestment of the Group’s remaining US industrial property in April 2013. As a result of this sale, the Group has one remaining European property, Bremer Ring & Hansestraße, Wustermark, an industrial distribution facility located in Berlin, Germany, which is 100% leased to DHL with a weighted average lease expiry of nine years. This property is currently being marketed for sale.
