Wee Hur addresses speculation on Australian PBSA portfolio transaction

The company said that the transaction may or may not materialise.

Wee Hur Holdings responds to a report by an Australian news agency regarding transactions involving its purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) business in Australia.

On 15 October, The Australian Financial Review reported that Greystar is acquiring GIC’s Australian purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) portfolio and claimed that Wee Hur will retain a stake as GIC transfers ownership to Greystar, as it sold GIC a 49.9% stake in the project in April 2022.

The portfolio involves seven properties across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Canberra valued at $1.4b (A$1.6b).

In a bourse filing, Wee Hur said it is currently engaged in early-stage confidential discussions with a third party which “may or may not lead to a transaction.”

The company also clarified that “there is no certainty that these discussions will result in any definitive agreement or transaction materialising”.

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.
