Starwood European Real Estate Finance Limited: Investment Update

Starwood European Real Estate Finance Limited (the "Company") announces that it has committed to a EUR31.2 million five year floating whole loan (the "Loan") to support the acquisition of a portfolio of fully let prime logistics assets in Dublin. The Loan has an initial drawdown of EUR17.6 million with the remaining EUR13.6m to be advanced in conjunction with the deferred completion on certain assets. Much of the portfolio is let on a long term basis to a strong covenant which uses the assets as its national headquarters. Such an investment is not only attractive on its own merits but also further delivers sector diversity to the overall portfolio of the Company.

The Company remains substantially fully invested.
