Starhill Global Reit
Starhill Global Reit (SGReit) has sold a property in Tokyo for 2.5 billion yen (S$29.9 million).
The sale of Roppongi Terzo Property, located in the Roppongi district in Minato-ku, was priced at a premium to its latest valuation. It was last valued at 2.44 billion yen and accounted for 32.8 per cent of the Japan portfolio and 0.9 per cent of SGReit's portfolio by asset value.
The sale translates to a yield of 4.4 per cent. As SGReit fully hedges its Japanese assets with yen loans, the net sale proceeds would be used to repay the yen loans as well as for working capital purposes.
