IREIT divests office asset in Barcelona for $35.5m

The sale price was 6.1% above the property’s latest valuation.

IREIT Global completed the divestment of Il∙lumina, a freehold office building in Barcelona, Spain, for $35.5m (€24.5m).

The sales consideration was 6.1% above the property’s latest valuation of $33.5m (€23.1m).

“The sales consideration also represents an attractive exit net property income yield of 5.9%,” said the REIT.

IREIT intends to use the net proceeds from the divestments to finance higher-yielding assets and refurbishment of existing assets.

Following the divestment of the Barcelona asset, IREIT expects its portfolio occupancy to increase from 90.4% as at 30 September 2023 to 91.5% on a pro forma basis.

The REIT also expects its weighted average lease (WALE) to increase from 4.9 years to 5.0 years.

Meanwhile, the REIT also shared that it inked a 10-year lease for two floors at Münster Campus, replacing existing tenant Deutsche Telekom, which is leaving in the first quarter of 2024.

Its leases at all B&M properties in France were also extended by 3.8 years on average, adding over $31.9m (€22m) of stable cash flows to the REIT’s portfolio.

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.
