The five properties, non-core assets belonging to the JHB based listed fund, are a collection of four retail buildings and a fellowship centre situated in the Western Cape areas of Delft, Delft South, Khayelitsha, Blue Downs, and Mfuleni. All properties are to be sold with triple nett leases in place.
Comments Mark Kleynhans of Aucor who will be taking the properties to auction, ''We were approached by the listed property fund to take these properties to auction as they no longer formed part of their core assets.
Four of the properties operate as retail stores with Masscash (Pty) Ltd (part of Massmart Holdings) and Spar being the anchor tenants. All the stores also have leases in place for a number of ATMs which are present within each store. We expect good interest in each of these properties due to the high levels of passing trade and the fact that the local communities rely on them for supplies.''
