Cromwell Property has sold an office tower in Australia for A$108.5m (€71m) to Melbourne-based private investment house Wingate.
Cromwell said the price achieved for the 200 Mary Street asset in Brisbane, represented a premium to book value of 8.1% after settlement adjustments.
The asset sale was part of Cromwell’s strategy to sell non-core assets in its transition to a capital-light funds management business in the future.
The Australian company’s CIO, Rob Percy, said: “We have created significant value through repositioning the asset and, with high-quality tenants and long-term leases in place.”
He said it was the right time to capture significant upside and unlock the value achieved.
