Steve Schwarzman's Blackstone Group said it would sell its US industrial platform IndCor Properties to affiliates of Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC for $8.1 billion.
As a result of the deal, IndCor will no longer pursue an initial public offering filed in September, Blackstone said in a statement.
Reuters reported in November that GIC was leading a consortium to buy IndCor from Blackstone in a deal valued at about $8 billion including debt.
Chicago-based IndCor was formed in 2010 as a portfolio company of Blackstone. It owns about 117 million square feet of buildings in 29 markets, according to Bloomberg News, which said the deal enables Blackstone to exit a major investment at a profit as it invests a new series of property funds.
GIC has stepped up its real-estate purchases in recent months, buying office buildings in Tokyo and investing in Australian student accommodation as a way to diversify its portfolio and secure better yields.
GIC is estimated by the Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute to manage around $320 billion in assets. Real estate accounted for 7 percent of its portfolio in the financial year to April 1, according to its annual report.
The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2015. Eastdil Secured, a unit of Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Barclays and RBC Capital Markets acted as advisers to Blackstone.
