TODAY’S DEALS: Kennedy Wilson Cashes Out in Japan

Beverly Hills, Calif.—A strengthening Japanese real estate market has led global real estate investment and services firm Kennedy Wilson to a 2,410-unit multifamily portfolio disposition in Japan. Kennedy Wilson began assembling this particular 50-property portfolio back in 2006. The deal values the properties at $472 million, including the assumption of mortgage debt and net assets.

Proceeds are in the $100 million range, which is roughly a $64 million cash profit over the life of the investment. These profits will be invested into both new opportunities and value-add initiatives in the firm’s portfolio in the United States and Europe, according to Matt Windisch, executive vice president of Kennedy Wilson.

Kennedy Wilson will continue to manage the portfolio for a minimum term of three years. The firm also plans to invest alongside the purchaser to retain 5 percent of the equity interests in the portfolio.
