CHICAGO-A joint venture between New York City-based Brookfield Properties Corp. and the Blackstone Group have agreed to purchase Trizec Properties Inc. and Trizec Canada Inc. for $8.9 billion. The boards of directors of Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada separately approved the merger and arrangement agreement and have recommended the approval of the transaction by their respective stockholders.

Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, a company to be jointly owned by Brookfield Properties and Blackstone will acquire 100% of the outstanding common shares of Trizec Properties at $29.01 per share. Brookfield Properties will acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Trizec Canada at $30.97 per share. The additional $1.96 per share consideration for Trizec Canada reflects the value of Trizec Canada’s net assets beyond its approximately 38% interest in Trizec Properties.

The Trizec portfolio consists of 61 office properties totaling 36 million sf in nine US markets. In a move that will fit strategically in its geographic niche, Brookfield Properties will manage and operate 18.5 million sf in New York, Washington, DC, Downtown Los Angeles and Houston. Blackstone in turn will manage and operate 5.4 million sf in West Los Angeles, San Diego and some of the New York City properties. Prior to the closing of the acquisition, which is expected in the fourth quarter of 2006, Blackstone will acquire 12.1 million sf in Atlanta, Dallas, West Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Charlotte and Minneapolis.
