- Due to equity financing, DPU accretion was 0.40%, lower compared to the accretion for the initial stake in NEX at 0.52% which was fully funded by debt. The long-term AEI plans in place for the mall and tenant refresh strategies that Frasers Centrepoint Trust will explore will help to further extract organic growth from the asset.
- The GFA optimization strategy to convert 60k sqft of carpark space into retail space should yield another 0.7% DPU accretion when it takes place.
Acquisition at 4.9% cap rate is favourable compared to market transactions in the low 4% range.
