Brookfield Property Partners has found a buyer for the 49% stake in eight office buildings it put on the market this spring. AustralianSuper, a superannuation fund, paid $349M for its piece of the portfolio, valued at $1.3B. Brookfield will continue to manage and lease the 96% occupied buildings and own 51% of the portfolio as part of the JV agreement, the companies announced. Brookfield CEO Ric Clark said the sale is part of Brookfield's ongoing capital recycling, and was a way for the Australian fund to enter the DC market. The buildings involved in the transaction are:
