Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Real estate investment trust (REIT) Spear, which focuses solely on the Western Cape property market in South Africa, has completed its accelerated bookbuild.<\/p>\n

The REIT managed to raise R1 billion from qualifying investors, with the capital raise attracting strong demand and being multiple times oversubscribed.<\/p>\n

In an announcement to shareholders released on Thursday, 23 April, Spear said a total of 78.74 million new ordinary shares were placed at an issue price of R12.70 per share.<\/p>\n

This represents a 0.1% premium to the company\u2019s 30-day volume-weighted average traded share price on 22 April 2026.<\/p>\n

These newly issued shares are expected to list on the JSE on 30 April 2026, subject to the requisite approvals.<\/p>\n

PSG Capital acted as sole bookrunner and adviser to Spear on the accelerated bookbuild.<\/p>\n

Spear plans to use its R1 billion boost in line with its investment strategy, which will include acquiring convenience retail, commercial, and industrial assets in the Western Cape.<\/p>\n

Spear stands out among South Africa\u2019s other listed REITs for its exclusive focus on this one regional property market, branding itself \u201cThe Western Cape REIT\u201d.<\/p>\n

The REIT\u2019s portfolio currently consists of 39 assets with a total value of R5.53 billion and spanning a gross lettable area of 487,418 m2.<\/p>\n

Some of the most recent additions to its portfolio include the Watergate Centre in Mitchells Plain, Maynard Mall in Wynberg, and Berg River Business Park in Paarl.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpear has been built on a foundation of disciplined capital allocation, deep sector knowledge and an actively managed, regionally concentrated portfolio,\u201d CEO Quintin Rossi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur pipeline is both clear and actionable, but importantly, we remain focused on transactions that are accretive to both earnings and net asset value.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rossi said Spear will continue seeking out strategy-aligned acquisition opportunities to deliver meaningful value to shareholders.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe core portfolio also presents embedded value-add opportunities through redevelopment, the unlocking of embedded development bulk, densification and active asset management,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
