Exit Strategy
The exit routes and the value-realisation pathways available to equity investors over the investment horizon.
- JSE REIT listing: the primary route; requires 24
months of audited stabilised NOI, ≥75% income-producing assets and
distributable-income conversion, workstream begins FY2029. - Institutional trade sale: SA Corporate Real
Estate (AFHCO/Indluplace), Growthpoint, Resilient and Old Mutual
Alternative Investments are credible acquirers of stabilised residential
portfolios; the Emira/Transcend and SA Corporate/Indluplace
take-privates set precedent pricing. - Pension-fund buyout: PIC or a consortium
acquiring the platform outright, consistent with its 2025 Divercity
commitment. - Staged asset sales: downside route, stabilised
precincts sold individually at 9–10% yields to recycle capital and
deleverage.
Exit valuation discipline: at a 9.5% gross yield on normalised FY2031
rental revenue of R1,808m, the rental portfolio alone supports ±R19.0bn
of gross asset value only if all 20,000 units are delivered and
stabilised; on the analyst’s more conservative stabilisation timing the
supportable range is R14.5–R17.0bn, of which the sponsor’s R18.8bn sits
at or above the top. Every rand of exit value above book (Finding 3)
must be earned through delivery, occupancy and yield, none of it is
contractual.
