MELBOURNE OFFICE DIVESTMENT – HAWTHORN EAST
GARDA Property Group ( GARDA ) has today entered into an unconditional agreement with Minsmere to sell 8-10 Cato Street, Hawthorn East for $24.1 million.
Acquired for $20.1 million (plus costs) in March 2022, the building underwent a substantial modernisation and refurbishment program throughout 2022. The property is 33 per cent occupied and most recently independently valued in December 2022 at $25.0 million, on a capitalisation rate of 5.75%.
Settlement is expected to occur on or before 22 December 2023 with net sale proceeds used to repay drawn variable debt facilities to approximately $247 million, providing $43 million of headroom.
GARDA continues to work with the counterparty that has agreed to acquire Botanicca 7 and 9 for $80 million. A successful outcome would result in a total exit from Melbourne office and reposition GARDA as a largely pureplay industrial portfolio, except for Cairns Corporate Tower.
