Outlook – Continued Focus on CBD Office

==> picture [117 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [117 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

We still prefer commercial office property

Prime vs. Secondary Office Yields

  • Significant demand for property with long leases

  • Demand for core CBD expanding to include near city and suburban locations

  • Australian office yields still high relative to global peers

  • Non Prime office cap rates yet to move

  • Spread between prime assets and non prime assets at the greatest in over 10 years

  • Anticipate this spread to compress with increasing competition for assets, driving the value of B and secondary grade office properties

  • Rents will remain under pressure in the short term

  • Not confined to office – occurring across all sectors
