Japan
* Singapore-based real estate investment trust Starhill Global REIT sold the four-story Nakameguro Place retail building in Tokyo's Meguro-Ward under a ¥525.0 million deal, reflecting a 3.1% yield. The sale price, according to a release, reflects a 25.0% premium over the property's latest ¥420.0 million valuation.
After the divestment, Starhill Global's portfolio in Japan was trimmed to two properties.
China
* Hebei Tianshan Zhengyao Real Estate Development Co. Ltd., an indirect Tian Shan Development (Holding) Ltd. subsidiary, agreed to buy for roughly 114.0 million yuan a 49% stake in the proposed Hebei Tianshan Kailongda Property Development Co. Ltd. project company, which will be established to secure the rights over an approximately 49,440-square-meter land parcel in the city of Shijiazhuang.
Under the deal with Hebei Kailongda Food Co. Ltd., Hebei Tianshan Zhengyao will fund the acquisition of the plot. If the premium payable for the site exceeds 185.4 million yuan, the agreed consideration for the stake transfer could be reduced or the stake transaction called off and Hebei Tianshan Kailongda dissolved.
