Squarestone Brasil takes AIM
     

16.04.10

 

Squarestone Brasil became the first overseas property company to float on London’s AIM for nearly three years this week when it listed on Monday

The Sao Paulo-based company, headed by Jimmy Morse, began with a market capitalisation of £35m.

It had hoped to raise £250m, when it revealed its intention to float in February, but ended up with just a net £26.2m after selling 28.26m shares at 100p each.

It also used 11.24m shares to pay part of the £17.5m for a 50% stake in a shopping centre development, Golden Square Mall in Sao Paulo (pictured), which is due to be completed in mid-2011.

Golden Square Mall comprises 333,680 sq ft, and has been valued by Jones Lang LaSalle Brasil at R$134.6m (£49.9m).

Squarestone Brasil said it had a pipeline of attractive prospective shopping mall development opportunities and a letter of intent from BTG Pactual, a Brazilian investment bank, wealth manager and asset manager, to potentially partner with it in the funding of its current and future projects at an asset level.
