Starwood European Real Estate Finance Limited: Investment Update

Starwood European Real Estate Finance Limited (the "Company") announces that it has committed to provide a £27 million financing facility for an office building in Park Royal, West London.

The three year financing is secured against a six-storey, 160,000 square foot building named FC200 located within the First Central mixed-use development site in Park Royal. The financing will allow the sponsors to refinance the all-cash acquisition of the property in late 2011 as well as fund the remaining capex to complete its fit out. The Company expects to earn a solid single digit return in line with its investment criteria.

£22m of the available facility is expected to be drawn in early June. The Company has now made or committed to nine investments representing approximately 89% of net IPO Proceeds.
