One Circular Quay, Sydney

The Lendlease Group have teamed up with Mitsubishi Estate Asia to acquire the One Circular Quay development in Sydney’s CBD from vendors AW Holding Group. The $800 million price tag includes upfront and deferred considerations, with an additional $50 million to be paid subject to certain project outcomes. The mixed-use parcel spanning 4,000 sqm has been earmarked for two towers with an end value of approximately $3 billion. Construction on the project is set to start imminently. The property is spread over a 9,527 sqm landholding, and generates in excess of $14.5 million in trade annually, thanks to a well-diversified revenue base. Whilst HTL Property did not announce a sales price, they did confirm the agency’s market guidance was achieved by the deal. Developed in 2017, the site is 97% leased, contains 5,474 sqm in net lettable area, and anchored by a Woolworths outlet.

“The new owner, who is also new to the asset class, is in the enviable position of being poised to capitalise on the activity that’s expected with such ambitious development,” Savills Hotel's Nick Butler commented. “While there are plans for some minor renovations to the hotel, the new owner recognises the importance of preserving the character of the building with respect to its history and place in Sydney’s pub landscape.” Over 2,000 sqm metres, the Macquarie Street asset possesses 27 gaming machines, 24 accommodation rooms, a bar, bistro, and a nightclub. The deal comes as the outgoing Pilon family have indicated that they are planning to focus on interests outside of the hotel sector.

70 Eaton Road, Luddenham

A historic 16.5-acre parcel of land at 70 Eaton Road has been sold by the Eaton family, who decided to sell the property as the Western Sydney Aerotropolis looks to renew the area in time for the West Sydney International Airport opening in 2026. The site represented a DA approval for 23 luxury apartments and townhouse/ terrace product, and possesses a total land area of 1,883 sqm. Notably, the transaction represented the highest sale $/sqm on gross floor area for a residential development site in South Sydney. The Uniting Church has sold a 1,601sq m land holding at 32 & 32a Railway Street. The property consists of a large single-storey heritage church – Petersham Uniting Church – and neighbouring dilapidated two-storey terrace. A rare 18-year net lease to 2039 with options helped encourage the sale of 8 Lakewood Drive in Woodcroft, which is leased by Young Academics ELC; a highly experienced Sydney childcare operator that operate 32 centres nationally. Sold on a sharp 4.51% yield, the site offers fixed 5% annual rent increases to 2025, and fixed 3% annual increases thereafter, and possesses a net income of approximately $121,800 pa. The Tavern is situated on a 5,574 sqm parcel of land, and contains a public bar, bistro, gaming room, bottle shop, outdoor terraces, and a two-bedroom manager’s flat.
