Rental Uplifts and Revaluation Results
Bunnings Property Management Limited, the responsible entity for the Bunnings Warehouse Property Trust, announces results from rent reviews of two properties and the revaluation of four properties.
The rent reviews, completed on Trust properties located at Mile End and Noarlunga in South Australia, are in accordance with the lease terms which call for market rent reviews to occur on the fifth anniversary of the lease commencement date. The review for Mile End was negotiated with the tenant, Bunnings Pty Ltd, and the review for Noarlunga was determined by an independent valuer appointed by the Trust and Bunnings Pty Ltd.
