For release 4 August 2014
Schroder Real Estate Investment Trust Limited
(the `Company' / `Group')
Wembley completion
The Company announces that it has completed the disposal of a one acre site
(the `subject site'), comprising part of its two acre Wembley site, to a wholly
owned subsidiary of The Unite Group plc (`Unite Students') for £7.56 million.
This compares to the independent valuation as at 30 June 2014 of £7.3 million.
The disposal is the successful conclusion of a strategy for the subject site
where the Company secured outline planning consent for change of use from a car
park to 200,000 sq ft of student accommodation. The subject site is non-income
producing and proceeds will be redeployed into income producing investments
that are currently under consideration.
Immediately prior to securing outline planning consent in June 2013 the subject
site formed part of the Olympic Office Centre with a combined valuation of
£16.5 million. This compares to the current combined valuation and sale price
for the Olympic Office Centre and two sites of £24.8 million.
Following completion of the disposal the Company continues to own both the
Olympic Office Centre and the remaining one acre site, with the latter
benefitting from an outline planning consent for 168 residential units and
ancillary accommodation totalling a gross internal area of 222,604 sq ft. This
site also is non-income producing and is being marketed for disposal.
