The Socimis are trading assets. Única Real Estate is getting out its chequebook for the first time since it made its debut on the Alternative Investment Market (MAB) to purchase a package of five commercial establishments from the Socimi AM Locales Property for €4.6 million. The assets are located on the main commercial thoroughfares of Madrid and Móstoles.

Única Real Estate is going to add to its portfolio a store at number 30 Calle Goya, another at number 31 Calle Augusto Figueroa and a third at number 310 Calle Alcalá, all in Madrid. In Móstoles, the assets are located at number 23 Avenida Dos de Mayo.

The total price of the premises described amounts to €4.6 million, and they span a combined constructed surface area of approximately 805 m2. “This purchase has been financed using own funds and with a mortgage loan from Bankinter for €2 million”, explain sources at the group.

Única Real Estate owns 35 retail premises in the Community of Madrid, with a combined value of €32.5 million, that generate annual rental income of more than €1.9 million. Currently, the Socimi’s capital is owned by 53 shareholders, including the company’s executives.

The Socimi, specialising in retail premises, has set itself the objective of investing at least €10 million each year on the purchase of new establishments in the Community of Madrid and other large Spanish cities. Única Real Estate, which made its stock market debut in June with a price of €25.25 per share, is also planning to undertake new capital increases over the coming months.

Meanwhile, AM Locales Property made its MAB debut last summer with a portfolio of 40 properties. The Socimi started its activity in 1990 and since then, has been undertaking a variety of real estate acquisitions in Spain. The company’s assets are, for the most part, commercial premises. Its properties are managed by Inversiones GB Balboa, which is controlled indirectly by the company (100%).
