QUARTERLY UPDATE 2007 September

ASX Announcement / Media Release

GPT provides a quarterly update for the March and September quarters to supplement the MidYear and Annual Results disclosures. The following information provides investors with an update on the activities of GPT for the September 2007 quarter.

Summary

The September quarter distribution, of 7.3 cents per security, was announced on 24 October 2007, and will be paid on 23 November 2007.

The performance of GPT’s investment portfolio remains solid with operating performance across each of the Group’s property portfolios continuing to demonstrate strong results. The Group’s extensive development pipeline has been progressed, with a number of projects moving closer to completion. Funds management growth has also been achieved with assets under management of over $7 billion at 30 September 2007.

Recent highlights during the quarter include:

  • Further progress on a range of developments across the Group’s $4.2 billion development pipeline

  • Continued solid leasing activity across the GPT managed office assets

  • Growth of the Australian wholesale funds management platform (to $4.8 billion assets under management)

Post quarter end, the Group announced the successful completion of a multi-currency, multi-tranche syndicated bank funding facility. The Facility, which attracted participation from 24 domestic and offshore banks, was oversubscribed, resulting in GPT raising €2.01 billion under the facility, well above the €1.5 billion originally sought.

  • The successful launch of Hamburg Trust’s first fund

  • Further investment into the US seniors housing sector with the completion of the second acquisition

  • The opening of the first stage of the $470 million Rouse Hill Town Centre

  • A lease over Darling Park Tower 1 to the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

The Group remains on track to deliver its targeted distribution growth for 2007.

OWNERSHIP

importantly, vacancies and arrears remain very low. The specialty occupancy cost across the regional centres was 16.3% at 30 September 2007.

Australian Retail

GPT’s investment in Australian retail totals $4.9 billion, consisting of $4.1 billion in assets on GPT’s balance sheet and GPT’s $794 million equity in the GPT Wholesale Shopping Centre Fund (GWSCF).

Specialty sales have grown moderately over the quarter as a result of low unemployment and stable consumer confidence. The outlook for sales growth is positive given continued expectations of robust economic growth.

Sales Performance*

Across the GPT managed Shopping Centres, sales continued to improve, with comparable centre MAT up 4.6% and comparable specialty MAT up 4.5% in the year to September 2007 (up 3.7% and 3.9% respectively at June 2007). Occupancy costs remain reasonable and,

The strongest performing specialty commodity groups include Fast Food, Eating Establishments and Jewellery. Weaker commodity groups include Mobile Phones, Discount Variety and Specialty Food.

  • Sales exclude Parkmore, Macarthur Square and Highpoint Shopping Centre which are impacted by development.

Australian Office

GPT’s office investment totals $2.8 billion, consisting of $1.8 billion in assets held on the Group’s balance sheet and GPT’s $981 million equity in the GPT Wholesale Office Fund (GWOF) (at June 2007).

Across the $4.6 billion GPT managed Portfolio, 25,100 sqm was leased in the third quarter of 2007 and terms agreed over a significant 33,500 sqm, resulting in 99.4% of space being committed, well above market occupancy of 94.6%.

Subsequent to quarter end the Commonwealth Bank of Australia has leased 51,000sqm, representing the entire Darling Park Tower 1, for a term of 12 years. CBA will progressively occupy the building from July 2008.

Across the GPT managed Portfolio, the average lease term is 5.5 years, with limited short-term expiry, providing long term secure income with growth provided through leasing, fixed increases and market reviews.

Leasing

Over 25,100 sqm was leased or renewed across GPT and GWOF assets to 30 September 2007 and terms were agreed for a further 33,500 sqm reflecting improving demand in all markets, particularly Sydney. Highlights in the GPT owned portfolio include:

  • At the MLC Centre over 3,700 sqm was leased for over 12 years to Pitcher Partners, and terms were agreed for a further 2,900 sqm making space in the MLC Centre almost 95% committed

  • At Farrer Place, 1,200 sqm was leased and terms agreed over 4,200 sqm resulting in space at Farrer Place being fully committed

  • Australia Square is now fully committed, and Melbourne Central remains fully leased

  • The Citigroup Centre is now fully committed.

In the third quarter of 2007, most of the leasing was in Sydney, demonstrating the positive turnaround of the Sydney

market. With increasing demand and very limited supply, strong growth is forecast for the Sydney market where the majority of the GPT managed assets are located.

Net absorption in all the major CBD markets continues to be positive and with relatively constrained supply in most markets, solid rental growth over the short to medium term is expected.

Australian Hotel/Tourism

The first half of 2007 has experienced improved inbound demand with visitation up 4.3%, driven by strong growth from China, New Zealand and solid European demand. However some key visitor markets were down or flat including USA, Japan and the UK.

Domestic leisure demand has been steady albeit within a highly competitive environment. Strong growth in outbound Australian travel has continued with growth of over 5% to June 2007, in part supported by a strengthening Australian dollar. Corporate and meeting demand has remained strong across the city markets.

Portfolio Performance

Revenue was up 2.1% to September, as a result of strong city hotel performance and increased occupancy and room rate growth within the Lodges resorts. Offsetting this was relatively soft performance at Ayers Rock Resort.

The Portfolio’s key performance indicators to September 2007 are shown below.

Ayers Rock Resort

Weakness in the resort’s domestic and international markets in the first half resulted in lower room rates and tactical marketing initiatives to stimulate demand. Whilst occupancy to September was stable at 63%, the lower first half room rates have contributed to revenue being down 3.4% on 2006. As the year progresses, room rates are expected to move back in line with 2006.

Australian Industrial/Business Park

GPT’s Industrial and Business Park Portfolio continues to maintain strong fundamentals, with occupancy (including land leases) of 96% and an average lease term of 6.9 years (by income) across the Portfolio at September 2007.

During the third quarter of 2007, over 2,500 sqm of space was leased or renewed.

With the completion of the 74,700 sqm Coles facility at Somerton late in 2006 and the completion of Quad 4 at Sydney Olympic Park in June 2007, the quality and diversity of the Portfolio’s accommodation and tenant base has been further enhanced. Quad 4 has secured leasing commitments for over 90% of the space, with the major tenant, Samsung Electronics, due to start occupancy in November 2007.

During the quarter new facilities for Linfox at Somerton ($19 million) and Steinhoff Group at Kings Park ($10 million) were completed and construction of a 6,000 sqm extension for Mitsubishi Motors at 19 Berry Street, Granville ($8 million) has also commenced. Yields of 7.5% - 8% are anticipated on each of these developments.

The Portfolio now has considerable scale and diversity, with assets in a range of industrial markets and the ability to meet a wide range of tenant accommodation needs. With approximately 600,000 sqm of development land available across the Portfolio, investors will benefit from income growth as new developments commence in the short to medium term.

US Seniors Housing

In December 2006, GPT entered the US seniors housing market, with the acquisition of a 95% interest in a portfolio of 19 seniors housing assets and an interest in the manager of the Portfolio, Benchmark Assisted Living (BAL). The Portfolio provides access to a growth sector through an established portfolio and a joint venture relationship with a dominant operator in a growing market for this asset class. Since entering the sector GPT has acquired a further 15 senior housing assets.

==> picture [234 x 176] intentionally omitted <==

US Seniors Housing

The initial assets, located in the New England region of the United States (between Boston and Washington), were acquired for US$428 million, including acquisition costs and are on target to achieve an initial yield of 6.8% (post-costs).

Year to date occupancy across the portfolio at 30 September 2007 was 91%, and margins have been maintained at 28%. Forecast 2007 average rent per unit, of US$4,400 per month, reflected the benefit of rent reviews undertaken in January.

There are, to date, no signs of any impact on the operating performance of the portfolio as a result of the slowdown in the US housing market. The needs–based demand for these facilities and the favourable demographics of the New England region, as evidenced by recent statistics which demonstrate virtually no change in median home values for the Boston MSA, provide ongoing demand.

The Group’s second acquisition settled in October at a cost of US$265 million (including costs) and is anticipated to deliver a 6.8% yield (post-costs). Consisting of 15 communities with 1,179 units providing Independent Living, Assisted Living and Alzheimer’s Assisted Living across 11 freehold and 4 leasehold communities, the assets increase GPT’s exposure to the New England region, introducing the states of Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire to the Portfolio and providing further exposure to the affluent greater Boston area.

The Portfolio, acquired at a total cost of US$694 million, now consists of interests in 34 assets.

Joint Venture Fund

Changes to the Group’s Joint Venture with Babcock & Brown (JV) were announced in June 2007. The JV Fund now has an agreed investment term of five years (from July 2007), with a divestment period of up to three years. GPT will begin to redeem its preferred capital from 1 January 2009. A revised fee structure, which incorporates lower acquisition fees, and introduces base fees and incentive fees linked to the achievement of GPT’s return on equity targets (of 9.7% to 12.6% to 2010) was introduced from 1 July 2007.

The JV is on track to fully commit its capital by early 2008 and to deliver on GPT’s return on equity target of 9.7% for 2007.

The acquisition of a 51% interest in a portfolio of 7 retail assets in the United States was completed in the quarter, and a sale of the German office portfolio was contracted.

At 30 September 2007, the Joint Venture Fund had a book value of $6.7 billion (approximate AUD equivalent).

At 30 September 2007 the JV had gearing of 72%, with 98% of bank debt fixed or hedged for an average of 5.1 years. The weighted average cost of debt was 4.7%.

More information on the Joint Venture Fund can be found at the end of this document.

FUNDS MANAGEMENT

Australian Funds Management

Over the last 15 months GPT has established a vibrant funds management business with significant scale and growth potential.

The establishment of the GPT Wholesale Shopping Centre Fund (GWSCF) in March 2007 built on the success of GWOF. There was strong demand for the Fund, which raised $1.2 billion in equity from domestic and international investors. The Fund’s portfolio, which consists of interests in 8 retail assets, has a value of $1.9 billion.

Since the launch of the GPT Wholesale Office Fund in July 2006, the Group has established a second fund in Australia, the GPT Wholesale Shopping Centre Fund and secured a platform in Europe, creating a business with over $7 billion in assets under management at 30 September 2007, access to real estate product in Australia and Europe and a range of capital partners.

==> picture [311 x 232] intentionally omitted <==

The GPT Wholesale Office Fund (GWOF) now has assets valued at $2.8 billion, following settlement of a 50% interest in Stage 2 of Freshwater Place, Melbourne. GWOF simultaneously entered into a development agreement with the asset’s co-owner, Australand to deliver a new 33,950 sqm A-Grade campus-style office tower, due to be complete in late 2008.

At 30 September the Fund comprised 12 assets and delivered outperformance for investors against the Fund’s benchmark. GPT benefited from this performance through the Group’s 40% interest in the Fund. With low gearing and an active distribution reinvestment plan, the Fund retains future growth potential and is actively seeking further expansion and diversification.

European Funds Management

GPT’s European Funds Management platform was established in July 2007, with the acquisition of GPT Halverton and an interest in Hamburg Trust.

Assets under management have grown to over $2.8 billion at the end of September (over €1.7 billion), including the launch of Hamburg Trust’s first fund (excluding assets held for future funds). This growth also reflects the launch of a new fund (BIP) by GPT Halverton and the acquisition of assets across already established funds.

GPT Halverton

Since the announcement of GPT’s acquisition of GPT Halverton in July 2007, the business has continued to deliver on its ambitious growth targets, growing its operational platform and assets under management. Through this transaction, GPT has a highly regarded and experienced local team with established networks and excellent growth prospects. The business now employs over 140 people across 10 offices in Europe and the UK.

GPT Halverton currently has four funds, including:

BIP A Portfolio of multi-let industrial assets in the Netherlands €125 million
----- End of picture text -----

The launch of GPT Halverton’s fourth fund, BIP, occurred in the second quarter of 2007. BIP, a partnership created for clients of CBRE Investors to invest primarily in multi-let industrial property in the Netherlands and Germany, raised €80 million and will make initial investments totalling approximately €250 million.

The re-brand of the business to “GPT Halverton” was launched at ExpoREAL in Germany, a major European real estate exhibition held each October.

GPT Halverton are currently focussed on three additional funds focused on the office, retail and industrial sectors in the European market.

HBI, which will be converted to a multi–investor wholesale fund, is planned to commence it’s equity raising in the first quarter of 2008.

Hamburg Trust

GPT increased its investment in Hamburg Trust, with the acquisition of Credit Suisse’s 20% in the business. GPT now owns 80% of Hamburg Trust with the remaining 20% being held by management.

The first fund for Hamburg Trust, domicilium, is a €50.9 million German closed end fund which successfully closed early in September 2007. domicilium is a core property fund which comprises 387 residential units in two multi-family housing complexes that form part of ‘Messestadt Riem’, a major urban conversion project initiated by the City of Munich.

Hamburg Trust has already secured future opportunities and expects to launch domicilium 2, a core property fund comprised of rental apartments in Florida and Texas, and Finest Selection, a value added closed–end fund, during 2008.

DEVELOPMENT

Since GPT internalised in June 2005 the Group has been focused on extending the development pipeline available to GPT and its managed funds and has successfully increased resourcing and acquired further exposure to development

across the Group’s owned assets and those which are owned by the GPT Wholesale Office and Shopping Centre Funds. Overall, potential projects have an estimated cost of over $4.2 billion in the medium term.

*All timings and costs are estimates and are subject to change

Key projects underway or planned across the GPT managed retail assets include:

  • The first stage of the new $470 million retail asset, the Rouse Hill Town Centre, in Sydney’s north-west was opened on 25 September 2007. As one of the last major Greenfield regional retail opportunities within the Sydney metropolitan area this is a unique opportunity for the Group to develop a new retail precinct as part of a planned community. GPT is developing and will own the $470 million Rouse Hill Town Centre and is in joint venture with Lend Lease to develop a number of commercial sites and the residential component of this large-scale project which is located on a 120 hectare site in Sydney’s fastgrowing north-west.

  • The first stage, comprising a Woolworths and Coles supermarket and approximately 80 specialties opened fully leased. The second stage, which will comprise a Big W, Target, Reading Cinema, and a further 130 specialty stores is on program to open in March 2008.

  • At Charlestown Square, plans are progressing for a major expansion of the Centre, which will increase the Gross Lettable Area from 49,000 sqm to 89,000 sqm. A Land and Works agreement with Council has been executed, securing the land required to facilitate the development.

The rezoning and road closure process required is now well advanced and is being pursued concurrent with the Development Application. Subject to approvals, construction is anticipated to commence in early 2008.

  • Land has been secured and a Development Application was lodged in August 2007 for the planned expansion of Wollongong Central (owned by the GPT Wholesale Shopping Centre Fund). Subject to planning and GPT Funds Management Board approval, the development is anticipated to commence in the second half of 2008.

  • Plans for the recently announced Newcastle CBD retail development are also progressing well. This project is an excellent opportunity to create a major retail destination in the heart of Newcastle’s CBD, strengthening and capitalising on the significant urban regeneration that is occurring in and around the CBD and waterfront areas. GPT has secured control of all of the privately held land required to complete the development and plans to build in the heart of Newcastle’s city centre which will cover the majority of the four city blocks bounded by Hunter Street Mall, Perkins, Newcomen and King Streets. Discussions with Council and authorities have commenced and GPT anticipates lodging a Development Application in 2008.

  • The development of a new 21,700 sqm campus style office building on the waterfront at 818 Bourke Street Melbourne is due to be complete this year. GPT will spend approximately $100 million developing the six-level office building, 56% of which will be occupied by Ericsson for a term of 10 years on completion. As the development is nearing completion there is strong interest from a number of tenants for the remaining space.

  • Construction at workplace[6] commenced in April 2007. The six-level office building of approximately 18,000 sqm located on the waterfront at Darling Island in Sydney will be developed at a cost of approximately $130 million and is expected to be complete in the second half of 2008. The location, design, and 6 Green Star rating (world’s best practice for this measure) has attracted considerable tenant interest and subsequent to quarter end, terms have been agreed for all the office space. The waterfront retail space will be marketed next year to maximise its appeal.

  • At 77 Eagle Street (Indigo House) in Brisbane a Development Application has been lodged for a 60,000 sqm Premium Grade office tower in Brisbane’s prime commercial “Golden Triangle” precinct. The development represents an opportunity to capitalise on the strength

of the Brisbane market (with no prime vacancy) through the provision of premium grade product in an exceptional location.

The development will see the demolition of the existing Indigo House building and the construction of a new 44level tower designed to take advantage of the location and Brisbane River views. Leighton Contractors Pty Ltd has been selected as the preferred builder for this project. The proposed development offers tenants large unrestricted side core campus style floor plates of over 1,400 sqm, premium grade services, external glass lifts, and parking for over 120 cars, and is targeting a 6 Green Star rating.

  • Also in Brisbane, a Development Application has been submitted to develop a 70,000 sqm campus style office tower on land that forms part of GWOF’s Brisbane Transit Centre. This tower, which is branded as the Q Centre, will offer large floorplates with expansive district views and will be integrated into the services and amenities of the Brisbane Transit Centre.

The site has the ability to be developed into a significant industrial estate with close to 190,000 sqm of gross building area.

  • A 10,000 sqm expansion for Freedom Furniture at Kings Park was also completed in the quarter and is expected to deliver a 7.5% yield.

  • At 19 Berry Street Granville, a 6,000 sqm extension for Mitsubishi Motors has also commenced and will be complete by January 2008. Through a long term lease to a quality tenant, this facility will also deliver a yield in excess of 7.5%.

Capital Management

At 30 September 2007, GPT had total debt of $4.5 billion. GPT’s gearing (including cash currently held) was 35.9%.

Post quarter end, the Group announced the successful completion of a multi-currency, multi-tranche syndicated bank funding facility. The Facility, which attracted participation from 24 domestic and offshore banks, was oversubscribed, resulting in GPT raising €2.01 billion under the facility, well above the €1.5 billion originally sought.

The margins (above the benchmark rate for the relevant currency and term at the time funds are drawn) were in

line with GPT’s expectations in the current environment of a minimal increase. As a result the average margin across GPT’s debt has increased by 2.4 basis points from 53.5 to 55.9 basis points (accompanied by an increase in the weighted average maturity of debt of 1.4 years). There was no material change to fees under the facility.

GPT has an effective interest rate of 5.02% (after fees and margins), and a weighted average maturity of debt of 3.7 years. A detailed Debt and Hedging Schedule is attached.
