VALUATION, PORTFOLIO UPDATE AND DISPOSAL NZX listed industrial property landlord Property for Industry Limited (PFI, the Company) is pleased to announce an expected annual increase in the value of its property portfolio as a result of independent valuations of approximately $69 million or 5.5% to $1.324 billion. The Company is also pleased to provide an update on the portfolio, and to announce the disposal of a property. Valuation PFI began the year with a portfolio of 92 properties valued at $1.211 billion, and two properties were acquired during the year for a combined total of $28 million. Capital expenditure and property related prepayments totalled $16 million, and together with the expected uplift of $69 million , provides the bridge to the December 2018 portfolio of 94 properties which are expected to be valued at $1.324 billion. Independent valuers CBRE, Colliers International, Jones Lang LaSalle and Savills carried out the valuations, which remain subject to finalisation and audit.
