CDL also announced on Jan 11 that CDL Hospitality Trusts (CDLHT), a stapled group comprising CDL Hospitality Real Estate Investment Trust and CDL Hospitality Business Trust, has sold its properties Mercure Brisbane and Ibis Brisbane for A$77 million ($80.89 million). According to CDLHT, the sale price translates into an attractive exit yield of 5.3% on the fixed rental, representing a 43.4% premium over the original purchase price of A$53.7 million.

Located in Brisbane, Australia, the properties are located in the CBD, opposite the Performing Arts Complex Centre and Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. They comprise the 194-room Mercure Brisbane and the 218-room Ibis Brisbane which are connected at the basement and situated on a single freehold title. The property had comprised about 2.4% of CDLHT portfolio value. CDLHT now owns 15 hotels and two resorts, as well as a retail mall.
