ASX ANNOUNCEMENT GROWTHPOINT PROPERTIES AUSTRALIA (ASX Code: GOZ)
Completion of sales of Lot 1, 44-54 Raglan Street, Preston, Vic & 6-10 Koornang Road, Scoresby, Vic
Further to its ASX announcement of 17 June 2010, Growthpoint Properties Australia ( the Group ) is pleased to advise that the sale of Lot 1, 44-54 Raglan Street, Preston, Vic for over $9.5 million completed today.
Further to its ASX announcement of 16 May 2011, the Group is pleased to advise that the sale of 6-10 Koornang Road, Scoresby, Vic for $4.6 million completed today.
Both properties were sold at book value (as listed in the Group’s Half Year Report for the six months ended 31 December 2010).
Net proceeds from both sales will be used to pay down debt.
The Group’s board determined that these properties did not meet its investment criteria due to their relatively small value compared to the remaining assets of the portfolio, their older improvements and their upcoming lease expiries. Both properties were sold to owner occupiers.
