Centuria Capital Group
80 Grenfell Street Fund to grow Centuria AUM to $4.7 billion
Sydney, 23 May 2018
Centuria Capital Group (ASX: CNI ) is pleased to announce:
-
Acquisition of $184.6 million Bendigo & Adelaide Bank headquarters in Adelaide in partnership with the Lederer Group
-
The launch of a new unlisted fund
-
$747 million acquisitions in FY18 to date
-
Assets under management (AUM) to grow to $4.7 billion
Centuria Capital subsidiary, Centuria Property Funds Limited, and capital partner the Lederer Group have exchanged unconditional contracts to acquire Adelaide’s premier office building, 80 Grenfell Street, for $184.6 million.
Centuria’s 50% interest will be acquired by the Centuria 80 Grenfell Street Fund, a new unlisted fund to launch in late May. The fund will have a starting distribution yield of 7.00%[1] per annum. The Lederer Group, who is partnering with Centuria on the acquisition, will acquire the other 50% interest in the property.
Recently built in 2013, 80 Grenfell Street is an A-Grade building situated above Rundle Place Mall, which is a premium CBD location in Adelaide in immediate proximity to train, bus and tram infrastructure. The asset is 96% occupied by Bendigo & Adelaide Bank, Australia’s fifth largest retail bank and has a 7.3 year WALE[2] .
John McBain, Group CEO, said: “This transaction is another great example of our property team identifying value in a tight real estate market, and combining our strong internal distribution capacity with our wholesale capital relationships to bring this fund to market.”
“Adelaide is enjoying strong economic growth, fuelled by a pipeline of large infrastructure projects and recent stamp duty reductions. This enables us to offer attractive forecast returns from this outstanding property, which is home to one of Australia's leading banks.”
“The transaction continues to deliver on our ambitious growth strategy, with more than $747 million in organic acquisitions, across the group platform, in FY18 to date. Total AUM will grow to more than $4.7 billion.”
Paul Lederer, Chairman of The Lederer Group, said:
1 Annualised distribution yield for the period 1 August 2018 to 30 June 2019. The forecast returns are predictive in nature and are calculated in accordance with a number of underlying assumptions set out in the Product Disclosure Statement. As such, returns may be affected by incorrect assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties and may differ materially from results ultimately achieved. Returns are not guaranteed.
2 Weighted average lease expiry (by income) as at 1 August 2018. Includes 18 month vendor rent guarantee over 889sqm of vacant space (3.8% of NLA)

“We are pleased to once again be able to partner with Centuria on another quality acquisition following the recent purchase of 201 Pacific Highway St Leonards. Adelaide is a stable, income driven market with strong credentials and, with the support of Centuria’s property team, we are confident the asset will perform well and support the growth of our property division.”
