Starwood European Real Estate ate Finance ( (GB:SWEF) ) has shared an update.

Starwood European Real Estate Finance Limited has announced the restructuring and agreed sale of its loan secured on a Central Dublin office portfolio to an entity indirectly owned by Blackstone Group Inc. for €4.8 million, matching the written-down value previously disclosed. The transaction, partly funded by related party SPT Real Estate Capital, LLC, is expected to complete on 23 December 2025 and follows non-binding sale discussions and an independent review of the underlying assets. The Dublin office loan represented about 8% of SWEF’s net asset value (NAV) at 30 November 2025, rising to roughly 18.7% on a pro forma basis after a further £30 million capital redemption, and its disposal supports the company’s ongoing orderly wind-down, under which it has already returned £346 million – 83.6% of its January 2023 NAV – to shareholders via compulsory redemptions. The board, advised by Jefferies International, considers the related party deal fair and reasonable for security holders, while Blackstone remains the ultimate owner of the Dublin properties and the loan.

Spark’s Take on GB:SWEF Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:SWEF is a Outperform.

Starwood European Real Estate Finance’s overall score is driven by its financial stability, high equity, and robust cash flows. The stock’s undervaluation and attractive dividend yield further support its appeal. However, limited price momentum and revenue growth fluctuations are notable risks.
