[Apha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Paul Lee] The National Pension Service sold its stake in the Australian logistics center, which it bought in 2012, for the first time in about a decade, earning a total of 240 billion won, including profits from the sale and dividends.
According to the National Pension Fund Management Headquarters, the National Pension Service announced on the 7th that it has sold 50% of its portfolio of 20 Australian logistics centers to the Australian faculty pension fund Unisuper (UniSuper) for 560 million Australian dollars (about 480 billion won). As the National Pension Service sold its 50% stake to Unisuper, the Australian logistics center's investment funds were fully recovered.
The portfolio held by the National Pension Service is concentrated in Sydney (12) and Melbourne (8), which have the highest logistics demand in Australia. The total rental area was about 340,000㎡ (about 103,000 pyeong), and Australia's largest liquor company, Carlton & Brewery, a large supermarket chain Coles, and Bizzy, an industrial packaging company, rented it, maintaining a rental rate of 100%. The National Pension Service explained that the sale recorded three times the profit of the investment principal, including the sale price and dividends.
In 2012, the National Pension Service acquired a 50% stake in the logistics center through Heitman LLC, a real estate investment management company, for $ 149 million (about 170 billion won).
