Brookfield Asset Management Inc. and a group of investors have offered to acquire the stake in Brookfield Property Partners that they don’t already own, in a $5.9 billion bid to take the real estate company private.

The Canadian alternative-asset manager saidBloomberg Terminal it has made a proposal to acquire the outstanding units for $16.50 each, or about a 14% premium to Thursday’s closing price in New York. Brookfield Asset Management already owns about 60% of Brookfield Property Partners, which had a market value of $13.8 billion as of Thursday’s close.
