Scentre Has A$50 Billion-Plus Opportunity in Residential Property -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Jan 20

0104 GMT - There's a more than A$50 billion opportunity available to mall owner Scentre, says Morgan Stanley. "We estimate that Scentre could have the rights to build circa 75,000 apartments on top of/adjacent to its 37 Australian Westfield shopping malls," analyst Lauren A. Berry says. MS says Scentre could unlock the value of its residential land bank by transferring sites into a development JV with a third party. It could then generate Ebitda on developments in later years when residential lots are completed and sold. "Alternatively, under a build-to-rent model, there could be recurring rental income upon completion of the resi lots," MS says. It estimates latent value of A$0.66-A$1.00/share to Scentre, assuming 75,000 lots are developed by 2050. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
