WP Carey to expand its property holding through acquisition of CPA 16

By

W.P Carey Inc. said that they have agreed to acquire one of the companies that they manage as part of the expansion of its property holdings. W.P. Carey is a sponsor for non-listed real estate investment trusts (REIT) as well as a proprietor of single-tenant buildings.

W.P Carey Inc. said that that the acquisition was for Corporate Property Associates 16-Global Inc.'s stocks through a non-traded REIT which was valued at US$11.25 per share. CPA 16 has an estimated 217 million worth of outstanding shares at the end of the first quarter of the year. The deal was valued at US$2.4 billion. The purchase will increase WP Carey's ownership of real estate leased properties which are leased to single tenants.

"In addition to providing liquidity to CPA 16-Global investors, it will significantly increase W.P. Carey's asset base, with a portfolio that will further enhance our already broad diversification by tenant, property type and geography," W.P. Carey Chief Executive Officer Trevor Bond said in the statement.
