Head of Retail Investments, Australasia Simon Rooney added “Small sub-regional shopping centres which are largely food, service and convenience-based remain highly sought after given the limited reliance on discretionary sales”.
“Campbellfield Plaza is also unique in that it offers a higher than average majors to specialty ratio when compared to sub-regionals that have come to market in recent years.”
"We have seen $644.0 million transact in the year to date including the recent JLL sale of Sturt Mall to SCA for $73 m, Gateway Plaza Leopold to Charter Hall for $117.0 m, Toormina Gardens to Fort Street Real Estate Capital Fund III for $83.3 m, Grand Plaza Shopping Centre (50%) to Invesco Real Estate for $215.0 m, Brandon Park Shopping Centre to Newmark Capital for $135.0 m,” he noted.
Unlisted funds and offshore investors have driven acquisitions in the retail sector since 2013, having jointly accounted for 65% of activity.
Unlisted funds have acquired $4.1 billion of sub-regional assets since the surge in activity began five years ago, followed by offshore investors at $2.5 billion and REITs at $1.7 billion over the same period.”
He suggested that, “Victoria in particular, provides sound investment fundamentals with the economy underpinned by broad-based growth driven by strong growth in household consumption, tourism, infrastructure spending and business investment.”
Mr Rooney concluded by stating, "we’re expecting strong interest in Campbellfield Plaza due to its metropolitan Melbourne location only 14km from the Melbourne CBD, and strong investment fundamentals”
