Brookfield Prime Property Fund has a conditional agreement to lease part of the vacant space in its 50% owned property at 108 St Georges Terrace, Perth.

The agreement for lease for 8,300 square metres is with a BHP Billiton entity that would be part of South32, the new company which BHP Billiton plans to create via a demerger.

A final decision on the proposed demerger is subject to BHP Billiton Board and shareholder approval expected to take place in May 2015.

The lease will be for a period of 10 and a half years commencing May 2015.

Occupancy at the property will increase to 75%. 

Brookfield's 50% interest in the property is valued at around $166 million.
