Cromwell Prop (CMW AU): ESR Exit Post-Privatization?
- Back in August 2021, ESR Group (1821 HK) acquired unlisted ARA Asset Management for US$5.2bn. This was discussed in ESR Cayman (1821 HK) Takes Out ARA Asset Management.
- Included in the transaction (completed early-2022) was ARA’s ~30.7% stake in office play Cromwell Property (CMW AU).
- ESR has in the past said Cromwell was a non-core holding. With ESR now expected to be privatized by Warburg/Starwood, does this accelerate the narrative?

- Rio Tinto sold 30% of its Winu project to Sumitomo for $400 million, surprising many with the valuation
- Expecting a PFS in 2025 for a 10 million tonne per annum scenario for the Winu project
- The partnership with Sumitomo signifies the rise of Japan and South Korea in the mining industry and may benefit Rio Tinto in terms of capital allocation and project development.
