Paragon REIT divests 85% stake in Australian Mall for $168.3m

The divestment reflects a 5% premium over the independent valuation of $160.3m.

Paragon REIT through its 85% owned trust, Figtree Trust, has entered into a put and call option deed to divest its 85% stake in Figtree Grove Shopping Centre in Australia for $168.3m (A$192.0m).

The divestment consideration reflects a $7.88m (A$9.0m) or 5% premium over the independent valuation of $160.3m (A$183.0) as of October.

The $142m net proceeds from the transaction will be used to repay debt, finance capital expenditures, asset enhancement works, and/or acquisitions; distribute to unitholders; and/or finance general corporate and working capital requirements.

The divestment is part of the REIT’s proactive asset management and enhancement strategies to optimise its portfolio and unlock strategic value for capital redeployment.

The divestment, which is expected to be completed by Q1 2025, will leave PARAGON REIT’s portfolio with three prime retail properties across Singapore and Australia.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
