- Intense effort into acquiring commercial assets throughout the 1st half: investments amounting to €274.8 million, based on a return of 6.77%
Since the start of the year, Terreïs has acquired commercial assets valued at €274.8 million (of which €126.2 million completed and €148.6 million under promises at the end of July 2011). These assets are spread geographically as follows:
- €194.3 million of assets in the Paris QCA (central business district) or close to the CBD
The assets acquired or pending acquisition are located in the central business district or in its immediate vicinity: in the 8th (116 rue de la Boétie, 11 rue Roquépine and 4 rue Cambacérès, 51 rue d’Anjou), in the 2nd (14 and 16 rue Volney), in the 9th (14 and 16 rue Poissonnière, 22 rue Cadet) and in the 6th (7 rue de l’Ancienne Comédie) arrondissements.
Two of these assets (Volney and Anjou) were acquired with vacant possession in order to achieve an attractive price per square metre. They will be marketed in Q4 2011.
- €79.5 million of assets in the inner belt, at the city gates of Paris
These are 4 properties (6 rue Denis Papin at Asnières, 17/19 place de la Résistance at Issy-les-Moulineaux, 60 quai Auguste Deshaies at Ivry-sur-Seine, Cité Jardin at Plessis-Robinson).
- €1.0 million of assets in the provinces
These are 3 shops in La Rochelle and Toulouse, with FONCIA as the tenant.
Made on the basis of an attractive price of €6,770/m² in Paris and €3,335/m² in the inner belt, all these acquisitions, completed or pending completion, will generate an immediate yield of 6.77% on a full year basis, once the two vacant assets are relet.
- Concentration of the portfolio on the commercial assets in line with liberalisation of residential premises: €26 million of residential assets have already been sold
Since the start of the year, Terreïs has signed protocols disposing of residential assets in Paris valued at €26 million, based on an average price of €9,200/m².
- Confirmation of the outlook
The policy of acquiring assets in the commercial sector pursued during the 1st half of 2011 has allowed to move rapidly towards achieving the target of a portfolio valued at €1 billion by the end of 2012, set at the time of the capital increase at the start of the year. At the end of July 2011, this was actually €930 million, including pending acquisitions.
In the face of increased competition, Terreïs will continue to be highly selective while remaining watchful for opportunities.
The program for disposing of residential assets will be continued in order to take advantage of the attractiveness of Paris real estate prices.
Terreïs confirms its outlook for FY 2011, i.e. a growth in rental income of more than 85% and gradual concentration of its property portfolio into city centre commercial property.
