Cromwell E-REIT divests Italy asset for $135.4m

Viale Europa represents 6.9% of the REIT’s net asset value.

Cromwell European REIT (CEREIT) has divested one of its largest non-core “other” assets, Viale Europa, for $135,4m (€94.0m).

In a bourse filing, CEREIT said it sold the property in Bari, Italy to the Italian State Property (Demanio dello Stato) of Bari Europa.

Simon Garing, CEO of the REIT’s manager, said the divestment is consistent with CEREIT’s “previously stated strategy of targeted asset sales, reducing exposure to the office and ‘other’ sectors and focusing more on the logistics/light industrial asset class.”

“We have so far completed €187.6m ($270.7m) of divestments in 2023, at a healthy €17.4m ($25m) or average 10.2% premium to December 2022 valuations, representing almost half of our targeted €400m ($577m) divestment programme to 2026,” Garing said.

Post divestment, CEREIT’s proforma NAV / Unit would have increased by €0.036 and aggregate leverage would have fallen to 36.8%.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
