SF REIT Pre-IPO
SF Real Estate Investment Trust (SFREIT), a logistics-focused REIT, aims to raise around US$300m in its Hong Kong IPO. SF REIT is sponsored by SF Holdings, listed in Shenzhen.At the time of listing, SFREIT will own three properties located in Hong Kong, Foshan and Wuhu, all of which are modern logistics properties. The assets have an aggregated gross lettable area of approximately 307,617.5 sqm with an appraised value of HK$6.1bn, as at Mar 2021. The average occupancy of the properties was 95.3%, with a weighted average age of 3.5 years and weighted average remaining land tenure of 37.9 years.
SFREIT derived 80% of its valuation, revenue and NPI from just the Hong Kong asset and hence, in that sense it's almost like a single asset REIT. While there is nothing totally negative about that, the problem is that the asset hasn’t been performing very well.
In addition, it’s also highly dependent on its sponsor for most of its rental income. Although, its sponsor has been locked in for long leases with built in rental escalation, which should accord a high degree of stability to the REIT.
