Insurer Jubilee buys Coca-Cola office at Sh1.1bn

Quote:
Jubilee Holdings has bought Coca-Cola East Africa’s former head office in Nairobi’s Upper Hill at a cost of Sh1.1 billion, with the insurer planning to move its headquarters to the property in September.


Quote:
The property, which sits on 3.2 acres, had been on the market for more than two years. Coca-Cola announced the sale of the property in July 2019 after moving to a new building in Lavington.


Land experts, is this price right?
Respect!
I think KenyaRe claimed Upper Hill is 500mn/acre.
Assume this is true then JHL got 3.2 acres (1.6bn) in land AND a really nice building with fancy features.

They will probably lease the offices in CBD.


With covid-19 and economic slowdown the price has dropped to around ksh.400mn
Irrelevant in the long-term grand scheme of things but to help you out (400mn x 3.2 acres) + Nice (newish) Building is still less than 1.1bn

Check your calculation again,is it more or less than 1.1bn.
Don't be too excited about the ksh.1.1bn as the purchase price,there are some details not yet disclosed by Jubilee.
Once they are disclosed you will find out that the total consideration Jubilee will pay will be higher than the ksh.1.1bn.

VVS is right. That was a fantastic deal for Jubilee. Like he says Jubilee basically bought the land, and the building was thrown in for free. Great great purchase.

It is such a good deal that even at say 1.5B, it is still a deal.

Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly @ericsson always has drama. I have learnt to ignore the noise. As you say, even if there are other costs eg stamp duty, renovations, extensions, etc and it ends up at 1.5bn... based on the 400mn/acre [supplied by @ericsson] 3.2acres x 400mn = 1.25bn so everything else including the building is for only 250mn!

These days in Kiambu (Edenville) there are houses at 25mn each. So JHL is getting a really high quality building (less the land) for 10 houses in Kiambu! Laughing out loudly

It would not surprise me to see Jubilee try to get a couple of diplomatic missions/DFIDs/NGOs/MNCs into the property. Folks who pay in USD/EUROs.

If JHL can generate net 150mn net income from this property, it will probably beat most other commercial buildings in UH. An agent I spoke to told me 4-8% yields are the norm in UH.

It's not about drama,it's saying the truth and disclosing all details.The costs i'm talking about are not related to extensions,renovations.
Those are post transaction costs which are neither here nor there.

For now hold your mouth as we wait for the detailed transaction document between Knight Frank and Jubilee.
