ASX ANNOUNCEMENT GROWTHPOINT PROPERTIES AUSTRALIA (ASX Code: GOZ)
Sale of 6-10 Koornang Road, Scoresby, VIC
Growthpoint Properties Australia is pleased announce that it has signed a Contract of Sale to sell 6-10 Koornang Road, Scoresby, Victoria (“the Property”) for $4.6 million. The Property was sold at its 31 December 2010 book value to an owner-occupier. Settlement is due to occur on 30 June 2011 with net proceeds being applied to reduce debt.
The board of Growthpoint Properties Australia determined that the Property does not meet its investment criteria due to its relatively small value compared to the remaining assets of the portfolio, its older improvements and upcoming lease expiry in early 2012.
Growthpoint Properties Australia seeks expressions of interest for an adjoining property, 1304 Ferntree Gully Road, having also determined that this property does not meet its investment criteria.
ENDS
