               "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.
