In addition, formal lease documentation for the seven lease transactions outlined at CMA’s 1H16 results and noted as agreed but unexecuted have now been completed.

Mr Nicholas Blake, Trust Manager - CMA, said “Taking into account the continued leasing success these lease transactions increase the Trust’s occupancy to 97.8 per cent and the portfolio WALE increases to 4.7 years.”

Mr Blake said, "This leasing success demonstrates Centuria’s ability to attract and retain corporate tenants, highlighting both the quality of CMA’s portfolio and Centuria’s active management approach. Securing a key tenant such as AECOM for a further 3 year term is a significant benefit to the Trust, further de-risking the Trust’s near term expiries and delivering securityholders additional income certainty”

CPFL will provide further leasing updates in relation to CMA as key lease transactions are completed.
