Herbert Smith Freehills is advising Morgan Stanley in relation to their role as sole underwriter and lead manager of National Storage REIT’s initial public offering and listing on the Australian Securities Exchange.
National Storage REIT will be the first independent, fully-integrated owner and operator of self-storage centres listed on the ASX. National Storage commenced operations in 2000 and is one of the largest operators and managers of self-storage centres in Australia with 62 self-storage centres under its operation or management and over 23,000 customers.
National Storage REIT is expected to list on the ASX on 23 December 2013 with a market capitalisation of $240 million (based on the offer price).
The Herbert Smith Freehills team is led by partner Philippa Stone and executive counsel Lauren Magraith, assisted by solicitor Adrian Amer.
Ms Stone said ‘The National Storage REIT IPO is a further indicator of the resurgent IPO market, particularly in the property sector. Herbert Smith Freehills is proud to have acted for Morgan Stanley on another real estate transaction, having also acted for them earlier this year on the Arena REIT IPO.’
