Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On November 3, 2014, Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines”), the sponsor of Hines Global REIT, Inc. (“Hines Global”), issued a press release related to Hines Global’s acquisition of 818 Bourke (described below). A copy of such press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), such exhibit and the information set forth therein are deemed to have been furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Item 8.01 Other Items
On October 31, 2014, a subsidiary of Hines Global acquired 818 Bourke, a Class A office building located in Melbourne, Australia. 818 Bourke was constructed in 2007 and consists of 251,038 square feet of rentable area that is 98% leased to ten tenants. The contract purchase price for 818 Bourke was $152.5 million AUD (approximately $135.7 million assuming a rate of $0.89 per AUD as of the transaction date), exclusive of transaction costs and working capital reserves. The seller, GPT Funds Management 2 Pty Limited, is not affiliated with Hines Global or its affiliates. The acquisition was funded with proceeds from Hines Global’s revolving credit facility and an $91.5 million AUD (approximately $81.4 million assuming a rate of $0.89 per AUD as of the transaction date) mortgage loan with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited.
The estimated going-in capitalization rate for 818 Bourke is approximately 7.1%. The estimated going-in capitalization rate is determined by dividing the projected property revenues in excess of expenses for the first fiscal year by the net purchase price (excluding closing costs and taxes). Property revenues in excess of expenses include all projected operating revenues (rental income, tenant reimbursements, parking and any other property-related income) less all projected operating expenses (property operating and maintenance expenses, property taxes, insurance and property management fees).
