The firm said in a securities filing that its real estate unit currently includes more than 450 assets, adding that the potential new company would have more than 1.5 billion reais ($287.09 million) of net operating income.

Formally known as Atacadao SA, the local unit of French retailer Carrefour SA (OTC:CRRFY) noted that the move would also include the potential sale of a minority stake in Carrefour Real Estate to a strategic investor.

The move comes “in line with the group’s strategy to unlock value of its assets and to accelerate the development of its real estate,” Carrefour Brasil added.
