WOOD Flash – Lamda Development: sells major land plot at the Ellinikon to ION Group for EUR 450m

Yesterday (28 August), Lamda announced the sale of almost 10% of the total Ellinikon buildable area to ION Group, to create a large office campus, along with residential compounds for its employees. This is a major deal for Lamda, and material positive news for the company, in our view. The transaction frontloads cash inflows, and reduces the execution risk in the Ellinikon project significantly. To put the proceeds into perspective: altogether, Lamda needs to pay EUR 950m for the Ellinikon land to the Greek State – around half of this amount has been paid already. The proceeds from this transaction, alone, cover the other half.
