DEXUS acquires strategic industrial property

DEXUS Property Group (DEXUS) today announced that it had acquired Lakes Business Park, 2-13 Lord Street, Botany for $153.5 million[1] .

DEXUS CEO, Darren Steinberg said: “This acquisition provides the opportunity to apply our active asset management capabilities to enhance returns for our investors. It is a strategic investment in one of our core industrial markets with the potential for superior rental growth in the medium term due to the lack of greenfield land supply, combined with competing land use interests in the area.”

Lakes Business Park, Botany is a large scale business park and industrial estate located in one of DEXUS’s core industrial markets. Located eight kilometres from the Sydney CBD and in close proximity to Port Botany and Sydney Airport, the 43,000 square metre business park adjoins Sir Joseph Banks Corporate Park which is owned by DEXUS Wholesale Property Fund.

The property comprises more than 50 tenants and is 95.9% occupied, with a weighted average lease expiry of 3.2 years.

The acquisition is expected to settle in January 2015 and will be funded through existing debt facilities.
