ZAHammerson, a UK-based real estate investment trust (REIT) with operations in the UK, Ireland, and France, announced the sale of £69 million worth of non-core assets, including properties in central Dublin and a previous asset in Leeds. These sales, totaling £75 million in 2026, were conducted at a premium to book value. The Dublin assets were sold to Transport Infrastructure Ireland to support the city's Metrolink train project. Proceeds from the sales will be reinvested into existing assets and new opportunities. Hammerson also acquired the remaining 50% stake in Ilac, giving it full control of the Dublin city center property. The company emphasized its strategy of focusing on high-value developments and capital recycling. Despite the financial moves, Hammerson's share price on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange dropped slightly, though it remained above its level from a year prior.
