REIT Focus:

Pan European and US shopping center owner Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW) has been looking to improve its balance sheet and reduce leverage so that it may be in a better position to withstand the challenging macroeconomic and retail environment. URW indicated with its recent half year results presentation that it would like to dispose of approximately €4 bn of assets over the next few years, of which approximately 50% will be retail assets and the balance mostly office. Approximately 7% of its €60 bn portfolio GAV are office assets. This week new reports indicated that it may be close to agreeing to a sale of SHiFt, a 500,000 sf campus located outside of Paris in Issy-les-Moulineaux that was a major refurbishment project completed by URW and is currently occupied by Nestlé. Price indications are in the €600 mn plus range with an initial yield close to 3.75%. While retail assets and multi-tenant office assets may be more challenging to sell in the current environment, well let office assets with long lease duration to good credits are still attracting investor interest in the search for yield by investors.
