Sunway Group unit to acquire hospital property for $98m

The property is currently leased by the company to operate a medical centre.

Malaysia-based Sunway Group’s healthcare unit has proposed to acquire a hospital building in Selangor from a trustee of its real estate investment trust (REIT) for a consideration of $97.62m (RM430m), the company said in a bourse filing.

The proposed acquisition by Sunway Medical Centre (SMCSB), a 99.99%-owned subsidiary of Sunway Healthcare Holdings, entailed the purchase of the lands and buildings known as “Tower A & B of Sunway Medical Centre” from RHB Trustees, a trustee of Sunway REIT.

The property is currently leased and used by SMCSB to operate a medical centre, a 7-storey purpose-built hospital building with a lower ground floor annexed with a multi-storey car park block and a convention centre.

SMCSB previously disposed of the Property to Sunway REIT for a total disposal consideration of $70.37m (RM310m) at the end of December 2012.
