To Acquire Melbourne Centre
Brisbane, Mar 1, 2016 AEST (ABN Newswire) - National Storage REIT (
ASX:NSR) is pleased to announce it has entered into arrangements to acquire a high quality self storage asset in Highett, Melbourne.
The centre is situated on the Nepean Highway and comprises over 700 units across 4,600 sqm of net lettable area.
Managing Director Andrew Catsoulis said "We begin 2016 with an acquisition that will further strengthen our Melbourne presence, bringing the total number of centres owned or operated by NSR to 24".
"The centre is well located with exposure to passing traffic and is situated next to big box retail. There is an opportunity to add value by integrating the asset onto the National Storage operating platform and driving rate per square metre" said Mr Catsoulis.
The asset will be purchased for approximately $17 million to be funded from NSR's debt facility. The transaction fits within NSR's target yield range and remains conditional. Should the transaction proceed, settlement is expected in March 2016.
