"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.
