Asset Divestment Update

GARDA disclosed that it had three non-core assets for sale in its HY21 Interim Financial Report.

The Archerfield property is now unconditional for $7.0 million, representing a 12.9% premium to its independent valuation. It is due to settle mid-April.

Lytton is under contract for $11.0 million, representing a 26.1% premium to its independent valuation and is subject to GARDA completing certain works. Lytton is expected to settle at the end of May 2021.

Varsity Lakes is now also unconditional for $12.6 million, representing a 5% premium to its independent valuation. Settlement is expected to occur not later than 11 May 2021.

Industrial Development Pipeline

The net sale proceeds of the three divestments will initially be directed to debt reduction but will ultimately be utilised for the industrial development pipeline.

This will see funding directed to the completion of Building C at Wacol which is due for completion by the end of May 2021 and also the first stage of 69 Peterkin Street, Acacia Ridge where demolition of the original structure is now complete.

Wacol is a 6,000m² facility, pre-committed to YHI Australia for a lease term of 10 years and 5 months and will contribute $0.7 million in gross income (annualised).

Stage-one of 69 Peterkin Street, Acacia Ridge is now also underway with the demolition of the existing building recently completed.

This 6,200m² facility is pre-committed to Austrans for a term of seven years and will provide $0.8 million in gross income (annualised). Construction of the facility will be completed by the end of CY21 at a cost of $7.6 million. There is room for a further 6,000m² to be built at this property.
