"The property has a gross built-up of approximately 231,940 sq ft and will be leased back to DHL Properties for five and five year lease term," it said.
Axis REIT Managers said the corporate exercise was to provide unit holders with stable distribution and to achieve growth in net asset value (NAV) per unit of the fund. This would be through acquiring properties which meet the manager’s investment criteria.
"The proposed acquisition and leaseback of the property is consistent with the investment objective and strategy of Axis-REIT and it will be accretive to Axis-REIT’s distributable income.
