- Two real estate funds emerged as the purchasers of the properties recently sold by the company, indicating strong investor interest and market demand.
- The company boasts a portfolio of constructed warehouses totaling 1.2 million square meters of GLA.
LOG CP continues to make significant strides in its asset recycling strategy, with the recent announcement of the sale of five industrial properties in the country. The warehouse developer first disclosed the sale of three assets to a fund owned by BTG Pactual (BTLG11), followed by the notification of the sale of two additional properties for another fund, FII Golgi Real Estate Investment Fund.
Within the transaction with the BTLG11 fund, two of the three sold assets are situated in the Northeast region of Brazil, with one located in Fortaleza (CE) and the other in Recife (PE). The third property is based in the city of Goiânia (GO). The total value of this transaction amounted to an impressive R$ 733.6 million (approximately 148.3 million dollars).
In a statement, LOG CP emphasized that it is capitalizing on institutional opportunities for its assets, ensuring that the transaction was executed at prices consistent with those reflected in the company's balance sheet. This strategic move will enable the company to effectively recycle its capital, acquire resources to reduce debt, and strengthen its financial position.
