領展(00823.HK)進軍英國斥逾37億元收購辦公大樓The Cabot
阿思達克 07-27 08:18
領展房地產投資信託基金(00823.HK)之管理人領展資產管理宣布,按議定物業價值約3.8億英鎊(相當於37.685億港元),收購位於25 Cabot Square, Canary Wharf, London的The Cabot辦公樓宇。領展會以內部資金及新的融資安排支付這項收購,並擬全數對沖這投資可能涉及的匯價波動。根據領展截至2020年3月31日的財務狀況,交易完成後,領展的備考經調整債務對資產總值比率將由17.8%上升至19.2%。是次收購預計於8月25日完成。

The Cabot過去六年進行了大規模的翻新和擴建,工程已於2020年3月完成。根據高力國際物業顧問的評估,領展向賣方HGR Liquidating Trust支付的3.8億英鎊,較該物業截至7月17日的估值折讓約0.4%。

該物業樓高17層,樓面面積48.16萬平方呎;現存租約加權平均約滿期為10.9年,每年租金淨收入為1,883萬英鎊。以收購價及收入計,這項投資的收益率為5%。

領展行政總裁王國龍表示,The Cabot正是集團想要投資的優質資產,能為集團帶來穩健收入及即時的收益增長,長遠而言亦具增長潛力。該物業屬核心商業區的甲級辦公大樓,亦為金絲雀碼頭少數的永久業權物業。大樓位置優越,四通八達,現在已接近全數租出予高質素租戶。

王國龍稱,收購為領展實現「2025願景」增長策略的一部分,提升資產組合,令投資組合多元化,更能為基金單位持有人帶來持續回報。多元化資產組合強化物業組合的抗逆力,令領展得以受惠於不同市場的經濟週期。在基地香港及中國內地以外,正放眼具高透明度及流動性、良好法律體系及強健經濟基礎的市場,包括英國、新加坡、澳洲和日本,尋求收購機會。
