SINGAPORE (April 4): Ascendas Fund Management, the manager of Ascendas REIT, today announced completion of the REIT’s acquisition of Stage 4, Power Park Estate in Melbourne, Australia, from Goodman Dandenong Trust for a purchase consideration of A$24.8 million (S$26.5 million or RM84 million).
Stage 4, Power Park Estate is a single-story logistics property located within the Power Park Industrial Estate in the established industrial suburb of Dandenong South.
In a Monday announcement, the manager says that the acquisition’s total cost amounts to A$25.6 million including transaction costs of A$800,000, which includes stamp duty, professional advisory fees, and the acquisition fee payable to the manager of about A$248,000.
