ARGAN sold to Invesco Real Estate its datacentre
located in Wissous and thus successfully finalized
its assets sales program for 2024
ARGAN, the only listed French real estate company specializing in the development and rental of PREMIUM warehouses and leading player on its market, announced today the sale of its datacentre in Wissous (91) to Invesco Real Estate for a surface of more than 22,000 sq.m.
This PRIME asset is entirely rented to Cyrusone. The transaction was settled at a price of €59 million excluding duties, in line with the appraised value as at June 30, 2024.
Following the sale of an 18,000 sq.m warehouse near Caen1, this second operation thus finalized ARGAN’s 2024 asset sales program in a total amount of €77 million, in line with the announced target for the year.
Additionally, these two assets sales reflect a combined yield at the level of the French PRIME rate, testifying to the quality and appeal of the warehouses part of ARGAN’s portfolio, located in very demanded areas.
The cash generated by 2024 assets sales is part of the Group’s broader aim to
self-finance its development and to pursue its debt reduction.
Argan was assisted by CBRE and the Jubault Notarial Office for the transactional aspects.
