Hibernia sells Chancery, D8, for EUR23.8m
Hibernia REIT plc ("Hibernia") announces that it has sold the
Chancery for EUR23.8m, which equates to a blended net initial yield
of 5.9% and a capital value of EUR645 per sq. ft. for the office
accommodation.
The property is located on Chancery Lane close to Dublin Castle
in central Dublin and comprises 35,000 sq. ft. of offices and four
2-bed apartments: it is fully let to tenants including the Office
of Public Works, Wella and Analytic Partners, producing rental
income of EUR1.5m per annum.
Hibernia purchased the Chancery together with a 0.05 acre site
in May 2014 for EUR16m via a secured loan acquisition: the price
represented a blended net initial yield of 6.8% and a capital value
of EUR445 per sq. ft. for the office accommodation. Since then
Hibernia has extended the weighted average unexpired lease term of
the office tenants from two years to eight years. The sale price of
EUR23.8m is over 1.3% ahead of the September 2017 valuation, and
represents an ungeared IRR on the investment in excess of 17%.
Richard Ball, Chief Investment Officer of Hibernia, said:
"The Chancery was one of our early purchases in 2014 via a
secured loan acquisition. Since then the building has performed
strongly due to the attractive purchase price, our leasing activity
and the market recovery. This sale allows us to recycle our capital
into new projects."
