The proposed acquisitions would "add critical mass to Rebosis's property portfolio and further diversify the company's income streams"‚ it said.
Chief executive Sisa Ngebulana said last month that Rebosis was focusing on its strategy of aggressively growing its portfolio and it intended to grow the fund to R10bn in the next five years‚ from the year-end value of R4.54bn.
The purchase price for the Sunnypark Shopping Centre‚ bought from Centre of the Sun Properties‚ was R572.9m. The price for the industrial warehouse was R120m and it was bought from Stonibut Trading and Invest 13.
Rebosis' portfolio currently consists of three shopping centres and nine office buildings‚ which are mainly let to government tenants.
