The newly formed entity will become one of the largest commercial real estate enterprises in the world with assets worth almost $90 million and annual net operating income of more than $4 billion.
Brookfield Property Partners stock opened at $19.14 on Monday. It is a leading owner, operator and investor in commercial real estate, with a diversified portfolio of office and retail assets, as well as interests in multi-family, triple net lease, industrial, hospitality, self-storage, student housing and manufactured housing assets.
Moreover, the deal is subject to other customary closing conditions and it anticipated to close in third-quarter 2018.
