Subscription to Alinma Hospitality REIT Fund’s offering will start today, Oct. 30 and run until Nov. 7.

 

The fund size reached SAR 1.020 billion. It will offer 51.14 million units, representing 50% of the total.

 

In September, Alinma Investment obtained the CMA's approval on offering Alinma Hospitality REIT Fund’s units in an initial public offering (IPO) on the Saudi Exchange (Tadawul) as a REIT, Argaam earlier reported.

 

The fund aims to generate sustainable and growing cash dividend for the unitholders and develop the fund assets via the direct investment in income-generating and developed properties.

 

The fund will largely invest in hotels, hospitality, and tourist accommodation, and may partially invest in the real estate projects, provided that 75% of its investments are in income-generating assets. 

 

The fund initially plans to acquire five income-yielding freehold real estate properties in the hotel, hospitality and tourism accommodation segments.

 

These assets are Vittori Palace Hotel and Residence in Riyadh, Ascott Rafal Olaya Riyadh, Hotel Comfort Inn Suites Jeddah, Comfort Hotel - Riyadh Olaya and Clarion Hotel Jeddah Airport.

 

Seera Group Holding announced its contribution with three real estate assets in Riyadh and Jeddah to the establishment of Alinma Hospitality REIT Fund, to be managed by Alinma Investment Co.

 

Seera indicated the real estate assets are Clarion Hotel Jeddah Airport, Hotel Comfort Inn Suites Jeddah, Comfort Hotel - Riyadh Olaya.

 

The fund will buy the three assets from Seera Hospitality Co., and the payment will partially be through in-kind units in the fund.

 

Clarion Hotel Jeddah Airport, and Comfort Hotel-Riyadh Olaya will be released by Seera, and the lease contracts would represent 22% of the fund’s total targeted returns. Hotel Comfort Inn Suites Jeddah will be operated by Seera.
