Revised bid from CPPIB, Dexus clinches Australian property deal

The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and its partner, Dexus Property Group, have reached a conditional offer to buy Australia’s Commonwealth Property Office Fund after sweetening their bid.

The two are now offering A$2.8 billion ($2.74 billion) for the company, up from last month’s bid of A$2.7 billion.

Under terms of the conditional deal, the parties must negotiate in good faith to reach a binding implementation agreement by mid-December.

The Commonwealth Property Office Fund is a real estate investment trust that invests in prime-quality office buildings located in central business district and major suburban markets in Australia.
