\"One<\/a>

One Manhattan West<\/p><\/div>\n

In a week that saw plans for two major multi-billion acquisitions moving forward, Brookfield Property Partners LP announced it had sold a 28 percent stake in its New York office and multifamily portfolio for about $1.4 billion to help finance future Brookfield investments.<\/p>\n

The company, the publicly traded real estate arm of Brookfield Asset Management Inc., revealed the transaction along with plans to sell another 7 percent stake by later this year or early 2019, bringing the amount to be raised to about $1.8 billion. Brookfield made the announcement in its second-quarter 2018 earnings report and during an Aug. 1 earnings call with analysts.<\/p>\n

The new BAM-sponsored real estate venture was included in a list of several capital recycling initiatives made during the second quarter, including the $167 million sale of the Hilton Los Cabos<\/a> in Los Cabos, Mexico, and the execution of a sale agreement for 112 assets in its self-storage portfolio for $1.3 billion, which is expected to close in September.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe remain very active in recycling our capital out of stable and mature assets and then using those proceeds to fund new investments and fortify that flexibility to our balance sheet,\u201d <\/em>Brian Kingston, senior managing partner & CEO of Brookfield Property Partners, said on the earnings call.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The Eugene<\/p><\/div>\n

Kingston and Chairman Ric Clark said the company chose to allow institutional investors to invest in most of the core New York City office and multifamily portfolio rather than on a building-by-building basis. The investments include the 67-story, 2.1 million-square-foot One Manhattan West office tower under construction<\/a> on the Far West Side and The Eugene, the 62-story, 844-unit apartment tower at 435 W. 31st<\/sup> St. that is the first completed ground-up portion of the Manhattan West mega-project. It also includes the first of the residential towers under construction at Greenpoint Landing in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

The portfolio sale does not include an office building at 300 Madison Ave. that has a self-amortizing mortgage on it, and projects that have yet to be developed. The portfolio stake also comes out of Brookfield\u2019s ownership interests because it has joint ventures on many of the projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is more akin to what we did in Washington, D.C., a couple of years ago, where we\u2019re bringing in institutional investors to partner with us. And then rather than bringing them in one building at a time, it\u2019s really bringing them in across the entire portfolio or at least a large subset of the portfolio all at once,\u201d<\/em> Kingston said on the earnings call.<\/p>\n

Brookfield\u2019s busy week<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The news of the Manhattan portfolio stake sales came one day after Brookfield Asset Management announced it had agreed to buy Forest City Realty Trust for $11.4 billion<\/a> and less than a week after GGP Inc.\u2019s shareholders approved Brookfield Property Partners $14.8 billion acquisition of the remaining 66 percent share of the giant mall operator that it didn\u2019t already own.<\/p>\n

Kingston said during the conference call he expected the GGP transaction to close by the end of August<\/a>. He also noted the firm would be launching Brookfield Property REIT (BPR), a new REIT security that would be an investment option for public equity investors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cash component of the transaction will be funded through a mixture of acquisition, financing and about $4.2 billion of equity that will be provided by our institutional investment partners. The acquisition financing, which has a five-year term associated with it, will be repaid over the next 18 to 24 months through a combination of asset-level financings as well as some further asset sales,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n
