Wee Hur addresses speculation on Australian PBSA portfolio transaction

The company said that the transaction may or may not materialise.

Wee Hur Holdings responds to a report by an Australian news agency regarding transactions involving its purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) business in Australia.

On 15 October, The Australian Financial Review reported that Greystar is acquiring GIC’s Australian purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) portfolio and claimed that Wee Hur will retain a stake as GIC transfers ownership to Greystar, as it sold GIC a 49.9% stake in the project in April 2022.

The portfolio involves seven properties across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Canberra valued at $1.4b (A$1.6b).

In a bourse filing, Wee Hur said it is currently engaged in early-stage confidential discussions with a third party which “may or may not lead to a transaction.”

The company also clarified that “there is no certainty that these discussions will result in any definitive agreement or transaction materialising”.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.
