GROUP TRANSACTIONS
Centuria Capital Group confirms Centuria Metropolitan REIT’s (CMA) acquisition of the Nishi Building, a high quality A- grade commercial office property in Canberra for $256 million and Centuria Industrial REIT’s (CIP) acquisition of two high quality industrial assets at 46 Robinson Road, East Virginia QLD and 23-41 Galway Avenue, Marleston SA for $236 million. These recent acquisitions expand CNI’s platform to $7.2 billion.
John McBain, Joint CEO, commented;
“We are very pleased that CIP has acquired two major industrial facilities leased to Arnotts, an iconic Australian company with substantial lease terms averaging 27.7 years. Equally, the acquisition of the award-winning Nishi Building in Canberra improves the scale and diversity of the CMA portfolio.”
“Whilst we are pleased with progress to date, we expect further strong growth in property AUM as our transaction teams crystallise acquisitions across our listed REITs, and our unlisted office and healthcare vehicles as the financial period progresses. Centuria also intends to make further announcements confirming its ongoing co-investment support of both CMA and CIP.”
“Finally, on 16 December Centuria confirmed the issue of 10,049,235 stapled securities to interests associated with Paul Lederer Pty Limited. The securities were issued pursuant to a pre-existing option agreement (June 2017) with a strike price of $1.30.”
