Starwood Capital Group LLC has agreed to buy a UK real estate investment trust while warehouse landlord Segro Plc has struck a deal for a smaller rival as a wave of consolidation sweeps the property industry.
The private equity group has made a £673.5 million ($883 million) recommended cash offer for Balanced Commercial Property Trust, according to a statement Wednesday. The deal, which will pay 96 pence in cash for each BCPT share, represents an 8.7% discount to the company’s last reported net asset value in June.
