100 Station Street, West Ryde

The Women's Housing Company has sold a block of eight units on a 1,284 sqm site at 100 Station Street to a local private investor. The property has additional development approval for a boarding house with 22 self-contained studio apartments. Hong Kong-based JY Group has acquired a half stake in Sydney’s Carlingford Court from Telstra Super, for a fully-leased yield of 6.5%. Spread over 3.55-hectares, Carlingford Court contains 33,298 sqm of net lettable area over four floors, in addition to 1,427 car parks. The centre is anchored by some of the nation’s most reputable brands, including Coles, Target and Woolworths, as well as McDonalds, The Reject Shop, and Fitness First. Frasers Property Industrial has bolstered their $5.5 billion portfolio of assets under management after securing a 73.4-hectare industrial land parcel at Aldington Road in Kemps Creek. The estate that the group intend to construct on the property will contain warehouses, distribution centres, freight transport facilities and premium health and wellbeing amenities, according to Frasers. A 31,850 sqm large-scale logistics facility, formerly operated as a Masters store, has been divested by HMC Capital, with fund manager Centennial acquiring the property in a deal that represents the conclusion of their partnership fund with real estate arm of private equity giant KKR. The property possesses in excess of 1,000 sqm of office and amenities, with internal heights that extend up to 9 metres. Whilst the 151 sqm building that currently stands on the landholding is currently being leased by doggy daycare centre, Mosman Paws, buyer interest was driven by the underutilisation of the site. “The 176sqm site is significantly under-utilised, with the current planning controls and zoning providing for a mixed-used residential apartment block of up to five storeys, subject to the relevant planning approvals,” according to CBRE’s Toby Silk, who facilitated the sale. The fully-occupied 52,000 sqm centre possesses leases to national brands like Bunnings Warehouse, Planet Fitness, Officeworks, Freedom, Fantastic Furniture and more, with the WALE of the property sitting at 5.1 years.
