WOOD Flash – NEPI Rockcastle: buys Silesia City Centre in Katowice for EUR 405m (7.1% yield)

NEPI Rockcastle (NRP) has announced that it is buying Silesia City Centre, an 88k sqm GLA shopping centre in Katowice, Poland. The sellers are Allianz Finance VII Luxembourg S.A. (45%), Kamsa Luxco 2 S.à r.l. (45%) and Cura Beteiligungsgesellschaft International m.b.H. (10%). At EUR 405m, the price implies a 7.1% yield on the in-place rental income, and EUR 4.6k per sqm. The centre seems like a good addition to NRP's EUR 7.4bn portfolio. In our view, the deal fits well into NRP’s strategy of acquiring large, well-known, regionally-dominant core assets. The yield also offers a substantial premium over the cost of debt, which we estimate at around 4.0%.
