SYDNEY (Friday, 11 June 2021) - Centuria Industrial REIT ( ASX: CIP ), has secured three high-quality industrial assets worth $86.1million on a blended initial yield of 5.0% and a portfolio Weighted Average Lease Expiry (WALE) of five years. All properties are 100% occupied.
Following settlement of the acquisitions, CIP’s portfolio will increase to 66 properties worth over $3.0billion. All three assets were secured off-market.

| Wetherill Park | |||||
| Total / weighted average | $86.1m | 5.0% | 5.8years |
Jesse Curtis, CIP Fund Manager, said, “The three assets were secured off-market and continue to grow CIP’s exposure to the highly-sought after and tightly held infill industrial markets of Melbourne and Sydney. The portfolio provides a rare mixture of short WALE assets, providing the opportunity to add-value and take advantage of low vacancy rates through strategic leasing, while also adding a core long WALE asset.”
The 40 Scanlon Drive, Epping VIC acquisition includes a 9,371sqm high-quality modern distribution centre within a core North Melbourne industrial precinct, 20km from the CBD. It is fully leased to two tenants: Grace Australia Pty Ltd (GCP Applied Technologies), and Gruma Oceania Pty Ltd (Mission Foods).
110 Northcorp Boulevard, Broadmeadows VIC is a 15,704 sqm manufacturing facility, 100% leased to Rollease Acmeda, a global engineering, manufacturing and distributor of window coverings systems. It has an 11.4-year WALE and was secured on a 4.9% initial yield.
The acquisition of 160 Newton Road, Wetherill Park NSW is a 13,233sqm distribution centre within a 2.2ha site, located in a key infill outer central west Sydney industrial precinct characterised by limited land supply and vacancy rates of less than 1.0%.
Mr Curtis added, “CIP’s strategy is to secure high-quality industrial assets within key metropolitan locations and this portfolio transaction is in keeping with this direction. These acquisitions continue to build our strong track record of identifying value and providing value-add opportunities through repositioning and active leasing to deliver reliable income returns and capital growth to our unitholders.”
The transaction will be funded through existing debt facilities.
