CLS Holdings plc ("CLS")
announces EUR57.4m of sales in Munich and Düsseldorf,
Germany
CLS today announces the exchange of contracts to sell East Gate
and Schanzenstrasse in Germany for a total of EUR57.2 million. The
decision to sell the properties was driven by their low Net Initial
Yield ("NIY") and the limited scope for CLS to add further value.
Completion of the sales is expected before the end of September
2019.
East Gate, Kapellenstrasse 12, Feldkirchen, located in Greater
Munich is being sold for EUR45.3 million. The sale price achieved
is 16% above the 31 December 2018 valuation and reflects a NIY of
4.3%. The property comprises 17,124 sqm (184,321 sq. ft) of high
quality, modern and flexible office space. The building was
previously the headquarters of a medical technology company that
vacated the property in 2017. CLS has since transformed it into a
multi-let, high tech hub which is currently over 90% let.
Schanzenstrasse 76, located in Düsseldorf, is being sold to a
residential developer for EUR11.9m. The sale price achieved is 76%
above the 31 December 2018 valuation and reflects a NIY of 3.3%.
The property comprises 3,095 sqm (33,315 sq. ft) and is currently
let to the City of Düsseldorf until the end of the year. Over the
last 5 years, the area has been significantly improved with the
development of high-quality residential buildings.
Commenting on both sales, Fredrik Widlund, Chief Executive of
CLS, said:
"I am delighted that we have concluded these two new sales which
realise significant value from our active asset management
strategy. Our in-house property teams have done a fantastic job
repositioning and letting East Gate, and identifying the
residential development opportunity at Schanzenstrasse. The sale
proceeds will be reinvested in higher yielding properties where we
can add long-term value."
