Ingenia strengthens its Lifestyle Parks portfolio in Sydney

Highlights:

  • Unconditional contract exchanged for OK Caravan Park in Rouse Hill, NSW (to be renamed “Rouse Hill Lifestyle Park”), a park in Sydney which was the third unnamed acquisition announced in late February

  • Park to be acquired for $6.8 million on an in-going yield of 8.7% and an unlevered IRR of 12.5% with further upside identified

  • Adds 64 manufactured home sites to the development pipeline and vacant land with capacity for a further 20 homes (subject to council approval)

  • Unconditional contracts have been exchanged for the previously announced Sun Country Holiday Park in Mulwala and Town and Country Estate in Marsden Park. These acquisitions are due to settle in late April and May respectively

Ingenia Communities Group (ASX: INA) today announced an unconditional contract has been exchanged for OK Caravan Park in Rouse Hill, NSW. This is the third Lifestyle Parks (Manufactured Home Estates) acquisition in Sydney which the Group previously announced in its half year results release in late February. This acquisition will be funded from the Group’s September 2013 Rights Issue and settlement is anticipated in early June.

OK Caravan Park

OK Caravan Park, to be renamed “Rouse Hill Lifestyle Park”, is a long established caravan park located in Rouse Hill, within the North-West NSW growth corridor. It is 45 kilometres from the Sydney CBD and 14 kilometres from Ingenia’s recently acquired Town and Country Estate.

The park comprises 120 permanent homes and 10 short term sites, many of which are parkowned homes. There is immediate redevelopment potential for 64 home sites with further development upside for an additional 20 home sites. This park is to be acquired for $6.8 million with in-going yield of 8.7%. The forecast unlevered internal rate of return (IRR) will exceed 15% if development approvals can be obtained for an additional 20 homes sites.

Rouse Hill Lifestyle Park will represent Ingenia’s third acquisition in the tightly held Sydney market. The park is closely situated to Rouse Hill Town Centre, an award winning retail, dining and entertainment hub for the Hills district. The park’s locality in the North-West NSW growth corridor will see residents benefit from major infrastructure growth plans such as the North West rail link earmarked for this precinct.

Ingenia Communities Chief Executive Officer, Simon Owen, said: “Rouse Hill Lifestyle Park is another immediately accretive acquisition as part of the Group’s plans to consolidate and strengthen our positioning in the tightly held Sydney market. Several other opportunities in this market are currently being assessed and will be announced in the coming months.”

Other Acquisitions

Unconditional contracts have now been exchanged for the previously announced Sun Country Holiday Village in Mulwala NSW and Town and Country Estate in Marsden Park NSW. Settlements are anticipated in late April and May respectively.

Since Ingenia’s launch into the Lifestyle Parks (MHEs) sector in February last year, the Group is progressing well with its full scale transition of newly integrated parks into its Active Lifestyle Estates portfolio. The Group has diversified its supply chain and is currently working with six manufacturers in local markets on the delivery of new manufactured homes to ten of its Lifestyle Parks (MHEs). Ingenia has a development pipeline of more than 930 home sites attached to its existing parks.

*Ingenia will now refer to their Manufactured Home Estates (MHEs) as Lifestyle Parks.
