DEXUS Property Group (ASX: DXS) announces acquisition of 2-4 Military Road, Matraville NSW

DEXUS Property Group today announced the acquisition of 2-4 Military Road, Matraville NSW for $46.1 million, with an initial passing yield of 9.3% (8.8% after costs) and weighted average lease expiry of 5.7 years.

The property which comprises two modern fully leased industrial warehouses with 30,000sqm of Net Lettable Area is located in the key South Sydney industrial precinct, adjacent to Port Botany and close to Sydney Airport.

Andrew Whiteside, Head of Industrial commented: “The acquisition of this property further diversifies and expands our industrial portfolio into another key Sydney market and is consistent with our strategy to invest in quality properties in key locations.

The acquisition of this quality asset at less than replacement cost represents excellent value and offers future repositioning potential with associated value upside, at the right time in the cycle. This acquisition is consistent with our active repositioning of the portfolio to drive further value for our investors and deliver quality products for our tenants.”

The DEXUS industrial portfolio is the third largest in Australia with $1.5 billion under management, predominantly located in Sydney and Melbourne in institutional grade assets - warehouse, industrial estates and logistics/distribution facilities.
