Hamish MacDonald, MGPA’s director in Australia, said: “This asset is particularly attractive as the first investment for the Asien Spezialfonds due to its high income yield from predominantly AAA rated covenants.” He added it had the ability to capture rental growth in one of the most “exciting office markets” in the region.
MGPA held the first close of MGPA Asien Spezialfonds in September 2012 with commitments of €85 million and further closes are expected this year. The target equity haul is €500 million.
John Saunders, MGPA’s Asia CEO said: “This first investment for the ASF meets the specific objectives of the fund due to its high distribution yield and potential for income growth.”
