               "These investments are expected to generate an annual recurring income of
               approximately Dh40 million," it added.
               The UP stock is trading at Dh0.43, a brisk 0.69% spike in early DFM trade.
               Debt strategy
               The debt restructuring means Union Properties has lowered its financing
               costs by Dh82 million during 2024 - from Dh114 million in 2023 to Dh32
               million.
               This improves 'profitability and liquidity'.
               "Our growing trust among financial institutions and unwavering commitment
               to excellence will certainly lay the groundwork for continued success, while
               also allowing us to address the evolving needs of urban populations," said
               Amer Khansaheb, CEO of Union Properties.
               More good news for UP
               The debt cut is the third piece of good news emerging from UP in recent
               weeks. There was the sale of plots that fetched a handsome Dh1.3 billion, part
               of its 5-year turnaround strategy announced in April 2023.
               The Dh1.3 billion will go towards 'debt settlement agreements and fulfilling
               preliminary costs for new real estate projects'.
               Earlier, it launched the project in Motor City, the 'Takaya', which also marked
               its return to the offplan after a fairly long absence. A further two projects are
               heading into launch phase.
               Union Properties will retain land of around 10 million square feet of gross
               floor area (GFA) for development.
