By Gillian Tan
Malaysia’s Starhill Real Estate Investment Trust has entered exclusive talks to purchase three Marriott Hotels from Colonial First State’s Commonwealth Property Hotel Fund, a person familiar with the matter told Deal Journal Australia.

The transaction — which includes the Sydney Harbour, Melbourne and Brisbane Marriott Hotels — will be worth in excess of 400 million Australian dollars (US$394 million), the person said.

Sovereign wealth fund Abu Dhabi Investment Authority was the under-bidder in the transaction, the person added.

Commonwealth Property Hotel Fund was closed in 2009 and is currently working through a divestment program to return equity to unitholders, with a sunset date of Sept. 2012, according to its website.

The fund bought the three five star hotels between June 2000 and April 2001.

“We are pleased with the way discussions are progressing. It’s a limited life fund which is closing and assets are being sold into improved market conditions”, said a Colonial spokesman. Colonial is part of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA.AU).

The Kuala Lumpur-listed Starhill Real Estate Investment Trust invests in retail, office and hospitality-focused real estate, and is managed by Pintar Projek, a subsidiary of YTL Land, a wholly-owned subsidiary of YTL Corporation.

Its existing portfolio includes the JW Marriott Hotel and The Ritz-Carlton in Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia’s Cameron Highlands Resort.

A spokesperson for Starhill Real Estate Investment Trust was not immediately available for comment.
