Nippon Building Fund is looking to raise around US$260m in its Primary Offering, to fund the acquisition of two properties.

- Nippon Building Fund Placement - Needs to Correct Some More Given the Weak Sentiment

Overall, the deal scored well on most metrics on our framework. Its target acquisitions are expected to be accretive to bottomline and historically, the REIT has been able to consistently grow its asset base and deliver value to unitholders. However, the office sector has been suffering from deteriorating sentiment as of late and analysts have grown more pessimistic on the REIT’s unit price.
