Daiwa Office sells Tokyo office for ¥2.5bn
Tokyo-listed Daiwa Office Investment Corporation has offloaded a Tokyo office for ¥2.53bn, as it recycles assets to fund new projects like its Nihonbashi-Bakurocho 1-Chome development.
Daiwa Office sold the 2,595 sq.m. Daiwa Shimbashi 510 property, making a ¥330m gain on the asset’s book value, as of end-May 2020.
The company said the 46-year old property needed to be redeveloped to compete with properties in the surrounding area and meet current standards.
Daiwa Office said the divestment was a reasonable outcome, since the redevelopment would have had a significant impact on the J-REIT’s business performance.
Shares in Daiwa Office finished trading 2.86% higher at ¥648,000 on Wednesday.
