• Completed the sale of the Group’s 50 per cent interest in MLC Centre for $800 million, representing a 3 per cent premium to 31 December 2018 book value

• Successfully opened the $432 million Sunshine Plaza retail expansion (GPT ownership: 50 per cent)

• Total Centre comparable MAT growth of 1.3 per cent (2.4 per cent at 31 December 2018)

Commenting on the successful debt capital markets issuance by the Group, GPT’s Chief Financial Officer, Anastasia Clarke, said the Group was very pleased with the support received from US investors, who recognised the quality of GPT’s diversified portfolio.

“This is a strong endorsement of the Group’s credit strength and confirmation of our continuing ability to access global debt markets at competitive pricing,” said Ms Clarke.

GPT’s Chief Executive Officer, Bob Johnston, said the Group has made a solid start to 2019.

“While there is evidence that retail conditions remain subdued, the Group’s retail portfolio continues to maintain high occupancy. We are achieving strong leasing outcomes in the Office portfolio and we are continuing to execute on our growth plans in Logistics, with a number of acquisitions completed and new developments underway,” said Mr Johnston.

The Group remains on track to meet its 2019 guidance of 4 per cent growth for both Funds From Operations per security and Distributions per security for the full year.
