RREEF finds nourishment in Maher
01 May 2007
An affiliate of the RREEF fund, a Deutsche Bank entity investing in infrastructure assets, has confirmed that it will be acquiring Maher Terminals – active in New York and gaining a foothold in British Columbia. Prices in this private deal were not disclosed, but the frenzy created by funds chasing a desirable asset class has driven prices to levels between 15 x and 20 x the levels of annual cash flows.
Maher operates a container terminal in Elizabeth, New Jersey, under a lease from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANY&NJ), signed before infrastructure funds came on the scene. In two recent deals, concerns that asset flippers would not make proper long term investments in facilities under lease have led the PANY&NJ to seek additional payments from two financial buyers. Analysts are suggesting that PANY&NJ will make a similar demand in the Maher acquisition.
