Segro to buy six Tritax EuroBox properties for $499 mln in deal with Brookfield
Adds sector context in paragraphs 4-6
Nov 12 (Reuters) -Warehouse landlord Segro SGRO.L said on Tuesday it would buy six Tritax EuroBox EBOX.L properties in Germany and the Netherlands for 470 million euros ($499.1 million) as part of a deal with Brookfield Asset Management Ltd BAM.TO.
Segro's purchase comes weeks after the Canadian asset manager outbid the London-based warehousing specialist in the race to buy Tritax EuroBox in a 1.1 billion pound ($1.41 billion) deal, including debt.
Segro said that the non-binding agreement with Brookfield is conditional on the completion of the asset manager's acquisition of Tritax EuroBox.
British-listed commercial real estate companies have witnessed a flurry of deals this year including the $1.2 billion purchase of UK Commercial Property by Tritax Big Box BBOXT.L, and LondonMetric's LMPL.L deal for LXI.
European logistics, including warehouses, have been a bright spot in a struggling commercial real estate market, as the boom in e-commerce creates demand for more space.
Private equity giant Blackstone BX.N in September agreed to buy an 80% stake in a European warehouse portfolio run by landlord Burstone BTNJ.J.
