SYDNEY (Thursday, 10 June 2021) – Centuria Capital Group ( ASX: CNI or “Centuria”), has acquired a 14-level, $224million office building in Footscray, Victoria, for a new unlisted fixed-term, single-asset fund, Centuria Government Income Property Fund (CGIPF or “Fund”)[4] .
CGIPF will seek to raise $133million, which is Australia’s largest single-asset retail capital raise within the past 15 years[2] .
The A-Grade office building, located at 1 McNab Avenue, Footscray, was secured with 100% occupancy on a 11.8-year Weighted Average Lease Expiry (WALE)[1] on a market capitalisation rate of 4.7%. The 20,191sqm building was constructed in 2014 and includes nine levels of commercial accommodation, four levels of secure parking and benefits from strong sustainability credentials, including 5.5-Star NABERS energy and water ratings.
The asset is underpinned by strong tenant covenants with 91% of the building leased to Victorian Government departments and agencies, including City West Water (32.5%), State Trustees Limited (31.1%) and the Victorian Government’s Treasury and Finance Department (27.5%).
CGIPF forecasts a 5.25% starting yield[3,4] . It will be held for an initial five-year term[6] .
Jason Huljich, Centuria Joint CEO, said, “Centuria has a 22-year track record for delivering successful fixed-term unlisted funds. This will be our largest capital raise to date for a single-asset unlisted fund with a target of approximately $133million. In fact, it’s the largest retail equity raise undertaken in Australia for a single-asset fixed-term unlisted fund within the past 15 years[2] .
“In this low interest rate environment, there is a strong appetite from retail investors who are searching for investments with compelling yields. We continue to witness this strong appetite with the oversubscription of our recent unlisted fundraisings. In FY21 to date, our unlisted division has executed six capital raises across four single and multi-asset fund mandates. Combined, we have raised over c.$184 million to deploy across attractive unlisted real estate opportunities throughout Australasia.
“With rising white-collar employment and workforces increasingly returning to the office, we believe office asset investments will increasingly deliver strong results. Already within the past few months, we’ve witnessed several large office transactions in the domestic market.”
Following the merger with Primewest becoming unconditional, Centuria will be one of the largest unlisted property fund managers in Australasia with c.$10billion of AUM across its unlisted platform and more than $16 billion of AUM across the Group platform[6] .
CGIPF’s capital raise is expected to open from Thursday 1 July 2021 and anticipated to close 28 July 2021. – Ends –
