Sale of Union Square concludes Group's £500m non-core disposal programme
Hammerson today announces the exchange(1) of an unconditional contract for the sale of Union
Square, a 52,000m2 shopping centre in Aberdeen, to an affiliate(²) of Lone Star Real Estate Fund VI, L.P.
for £111m cash consideration. Completion is expected to occur in Q1 2024.
This represents an 8% discount to 31 December 2023 book value of £121m and a net initial yield of
11%.
The proceeds of this disposal will further strengthen the balance sheet by reducing net debt and
provide additional capacity for reinvestment into the core portfolio.
As part of Hammerson's strategic re-alignment of its portfolio, the sale of Union Square concludes
the £500m non-core disposal programme, as outlined at the start of 2022.
