The NCDs will be listed on the wholesale debt market of BSE.
Michael Holland, CEO of Embassy REIT, said, “Our ability to raise financing at competitive rates despite uneven and volatile bond markets demonstrates the strength of our balance sheet and resilience of our commercial office business supported by the strong covenants of our largely multinational occupiers. We are very pleased with the successful debt raise and we continue to see positive traction as markets witness preference for high-quality borrowers like Embassy REIT.”
