CHARTER HALL EXTENDS OFFICE MARKET ACQUISITIONS WITH $23.9 MILLION NORTH SYDNEY CBD PURCHASE

Tuesday, 6 November 2007

Charter Hall, one of Australia’s leading property fund managers and property developers, announces that its Diversified Property Fund (DPF) has acquired APP House, 53 Berry Street in North Sydney for $23.9 million, which grows the portfolio to 12 assets with a total portfolio value of approximately $162.5 million.

The acquisition, a first for DPF in the North Sydney CBD, provides excellent exposure to the improving North Sydney CBD office market which has a solid outlook for growth and may benefit from a more progressive planning approach from North Sydney Council.

The modern seven level office building is situated on the high profile south-western corner of Berry and Miller Streets and has prominent retail exposure and accessibility. The building comprises a ground level entrance foyer and large retail shop with internal mezzanine area, six upper levels of office space and two basement car parking levels that provides parking for 30 cars.

The property was purchased on an initial fully let yield of 6.29% and is 100% leased to quality tenants including APP Corporation, (a subsidiary of Transfield Services Ltd), Fedex Kinkos and National Credit Insurance (a subsidiary of QBE Insurance).

David Harrison, Charter Hall’s Joint Managing Director said: “The acquisition provides additional tenant and sector diversity for DPF, increasing exposure to the fast improving Sydney office market whilst maintaining a high proportion of the portfolios income generated from national and international tenants.”
