HSI Malls (HSML11) Completes Sale of 25% of Shopping Uberaba in Minas Gerais for R$146.24 Million. The sale to Kinea Hedge (KNHF11) includes the Deck Parking and additional areas of the complex. According to data from SiiLA's intelligence team, the cap rate for the transaction is 7.6%.
HSI will use part of the proceeds to begin the first phase of expansion at Shopping Uberaba, adding 4,081 m² of Gross Leasable Area (GLA) to the property. The company expects the expansion to deliver a 15.8% return on cost (yield on cost).
This transaction is expected to generate a capital gain of R$42.56 million, equivalent to R$2.05 per share, without considering future inflation adjustments. The Fund’s strategy focuses on maximizing returns from its portfolio assets.
In September of this year, the total sales at the shopping mall amounted to R$36.01 million, showing a 1% increase compared to September 2023. The Net Operating Income (NOI) rose by 13% compared to the same period last year.
Located in Uberaba, Minas Gerais, this Class B property spans 115,000 m² of land and 25,111 m² of Gross Leasable Area (GLA). Operated by Alqia, the mall features 188 stores and 1,190 parking spaces. Among the main brands present at the location are: Renner, C&A, Riachuelo, Pernambucanas, Magazine Luiza, Casas Bahia, Lojas Americanas, Madero, Burger King, McDonald’s, Kopenhagen, Vivara, Farm, Track & Field, Reserva, and Samsung. The mall's occupancy rate for the third quarter of 2024 is 97.54%.
In a statement, Felipe Gaiad, Managing Partner of HSI Fundos Imobiliários, highlighted that the shopping mall's operating profit has grown by over 50% since HSI Malls acquired the asset two years ago. "The expansion will bring another cycle of significant appreciation in the medium term."
Shopping Uberaba continues to deliver solid results. Just a few months after the acquisition, the mall began operating with an NOI margin of approximately 90% (compared to 80% pre-acquisition). "We see this as a very timely opportunity to strengthen the fund's portfolio and position it for sustainable growth through our active management approach and strategic understanding of the demands and opportunities of each asset and its region," he said.
Moreover, the shopping mall sector has proven to be resilient, particularly among operators who are attentive to new consumer demands, attracting more visitors and increasing dwell times within their facilities.
