Manulife US REIT plans to divest three properties to raise $453m

This forms part of its Growth and Value Up Plan.

Manulife US REIT announced plans to divest three existing properties and raise $453m (US$350m) in net proceeds, as part of its Growth and Value Up Plan.

It is also seeking shareholder approval to make acquisitions and investments worth up to $777m (US$600m).

It aims that its divestments of Capitol, Sacramento, California, of Plaza, New Jersey, and of Peachtree, Atlanta, Georgia, have raised net proceeds of up to $353.7m (US$273.1m), or $72m (US$55.6m) short in its Master Restructuring Agreement (MRA) targets, Manulife added.

The mandates will enable the REIT to dispose of its existing properties, or acquire properties or investments without approval of the unitholders.

In the firm’s MRA plan, it plans to diversify its portfolio beyond the US office sector into industrial, living, and retail asset classes across the US and Canada.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
