TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 30, 2025-- Inovalis Real Estate Investment Trust (the “REIT”) (TSX: INO.UN) today announced the closing of the sale of the Sablière property to a third party for €18.2 million ($28.3 million). The property was sold at a modest 2% premium over its original purchase price, despite a markedly softer market environment and the asset being largely vacant at the time of sale, in contrast to its fully leased condition at acquisition in 2014. The transaction generated net proceeds of approximately $13 million (€8.4 million), which the REIT intends to deploy towards debt reduction and to support value-enhancing initiatives across its portfolio, including leasing and redevelopment opportunities.

“This transaction reflects our ongoing efforts to recycle the REIT’s asset base and strengthen the balance sheet,” said Stephane Amine, President and Chief Executive Officer of Inovalis REIT. “The proceeds will provide us with increased financial flexibility as we continue to execute on our strategic priorities.”
