Brisbane Cbd

<html><body>
Charter Hall Group (Charter Hall or Group) has partnered with global real estate investor QuadReal, to acquire one of the largest remaining Brisbane CBD development sites, located within the heart of the North Quay renewal precinct.

This acquisition further extends the Charter Hall and QuadReal partnership following the 2019 $630 million acquisition of 201 Elizabeth Street, Sydney, by securing an underdeveloped site and providing optionality for two simultaneously submitted planning applications, which propose either a twin or single tower development.

Charter Hall Managing Director and Group CEO, Mr David Harrison, said “We are delighted to extend our relationship with QuadReal, one of Canada’s largest property groups."

QuadReal Head of Asia, Mr Peter Kim, said “Australia remains a key focus for QuadReal, and the North Quay investment is a direct product of the long-term strategic relationship we have with Charter Hall in that market."

Charter Hall has taken a flexible approach and lodged two Development Applications (DAs) with Brisbane City Council for 309 North Quay — a significant, 6,400sqm infill site located in the Roma Street Urban Renewal Priority Development Area. This development will further enhance the North Quay precinct of the CBD as it undergoes significant revitalisation. 

The proposed project, which comprises a DA for a single 50,000sqm commercial tower and a separate DA for two smaller commercial towers of 23,000 sqm &amp; 36,000 sqm each, will act as a catalyst for urban renewal of the surrounding sites, including Roma Street Station — Brisbane’s new ‘Grand Central Station’ made possible with Cross River Rail, Brisbane Metro and the proposed Brisbane Live the city’s new entertainment arena. 

The strategically positioned site and previous long-term home of Triple M and B105, is the gateway into the CBD from Coronation Drive, North Quay and the William Jolly Bridge, with uninterrupted views of the Brisbane River and a short walk to the city’s leading entertainment, dining and lifestyle precincts including Queen Street Mall, Suncorp Stadium, The Barracks, Roma Street Parklands, the Queensland Cultural Centre and South Bank.

For many years, the Brisbane commercial market has largely gone under the radar in comparison to its southern counterparts…until now and according to the latest office report from property valuation firm HTW is now on the cusp of a major transformation.
The Herron Todd White report notes however, it will be a five-year project on the pathway to transformation into a world class city, with this fact being increasingly recognised in the commercial markets where there are increasing levels of interest in high quality commercial properties within Brisbane from Australian and international investors.
This has been evidenced by yield compression and strong capital growth over the past three years.
Yields which were solidly in the 6.75% to 7.25% range previously are now pressing downward into the 5.5% to 6.5% range, whilst capital growth of up to 30% has been recorded against some prime quality properties.
Against this backdrop however, the market is still plagued by persistently high vacancy rates, particularly in the B grade category and below.
This is holding back real rent growth and significant change in rents is not likely until Prime and A grade vacancies push lower into the single digits.
Recent leasing statistics released by Property Council of Australia have indicated that total vacancies in the CBD have contracted to a five year low of 13% as at January 2019.
The property valuers said, "Prime and A grade vacancies however are now at 10.4% and 9.9% respectively, and heading down."
"Gross face rents have stabilised with some assets seeing effective rents increase as incentives very slowly start to wind back, however vacancy rates remain high for secondary stock and face rents will continue to be flat as vendors compete to secure tenants."
"It is likely we will see a further widening in rentals between Prime or A grade and secondary accommodation," they added.
The fringe CBD leasing market is now largely dominated by the prime office precincts of Fortitude Valley (RNA, King Street precinct and Ann Street), Newstead (in and around Gas Works) and South Brisbane, according to the report.
Vacancy rates for fringe markets overall remain high at circa 14.8% but the better regarded precincts of South Brisbane and the Urban Renewal area are doing better at 10% and 14.2% respectively.
The report stated, "On the whole, fringe markets have been impacted by high vacancies in the CBD, but the Urban Renewal area is likely to continue to dominate the larger leasing and sale transactions."
"On the rental side, gross face rents appear to be increasing for premium buildings with some new leases reported at above $650 per square metre gross face. Incentives are also stabilising for prime assets."
"Conversely, secondary fringe CBD leasing markets are still oversupplied as tenants seek newer accommodation that is within close proximity of transportation and good retail amenities."
"Milton and Spring Hill commercial precincts continue to remain out of favour with tenants as vacancy rates continue to be the highest recorded for the fringe (21.5% and 17% respectively). These vacancies may present opportunities for re-purposing of some buildings in these areas," they noted.
There have been a significant number of quality commercial office listings in the first half of this year across the CBD, fringe CBD and inner-city areas.
Whilst many transactions are yet to transpire, there is reportedly strong interest being generated for well leased investment assets on both a local and interstate level.
"We believe some of these assets will likely achieve strong sale prices, as interstate investors priced out of Sydney and Melbourne see exceptional value in Brisbane (broadly speaking, there is a 150 to 250 basis point differential between Sydney or Melbourne versus Brisbane)," the valuers concluded.

Brisbane CBD on the cusp of office transformation: HTW Commercial

<html><body>
Cbus Property has secured a second commercial office project in Brisbane’s CBD in a deal with local developer, Nielson Properties, to develop its 205 North Quay and adjacent 30 Herschel Street properties.
The partners will combine the two properties to create a 3,000 square metre riverfront corner site, with plans to develop it into a circa $600 million A-grade commercial building.
Savills agents Anthony Ott and John McDonald negotiated the transaction.
The new development, to be known as 205 North Quay, presents a landmark opportunity for Cbus Property to bookend its successful 1 William Street, Brisbane commercial project, tenanted by Queensland Government and recently awarded Property Council of Australia’s 2019 Queensland Development of the Year.
205 North Quay will add 50,000 square metres of net lettable area to the Brisbane CBD office market and responds directly to the emergence of the North Quarter precinct which has received record infrastructure investment.
“205 North Quay is a major riverfront CBD site, ideally located to capitalise on the major infrastructure projects nearby such as the recently announced Roma Street Station, Brisbane Metro, Cross River Rail and Brisbane Live,” said Adrian Pozzo, CEO of Cbus Property.
“The economic outlook for Brisbane is strong, with positive employment growth forecast to continue and Queensland’s economic growth also anticipated to continue to outperform the Australian average.
“We will look to build on these strong economic foundations and our past success with 1 William Street, to deliver a premium and future-focused commercial tower for Brisbane’s CBD in collaboration with our partner, Nielson Properties.”
Located in Brisbane’s prime commercial district, the 205 North Quay development will play a significant role in the continued regeneration of the burgeoning North Quarter precinct, which will now also include Mirvac’s 80 Ann Street tower to be tenanted by Suncorp, Shayher Group’s 300 George Street project and the recently completed W Hotel on George Street.
“We are proud to partner with Cbus Property on this landmark riverfront commercial project,” says Ross Nielson, Founder and Managing Director of Nielson Properties.
“As a local Brisbane developer, we’re excited to be a part of the evolution of the North Quarter as it becomes a vibrant hub bolstered by outstanding connectivity to Brisbane’s CBD and premium infrastructure and amenity.”
The tower is expected to be complete by 2023.

Savills Research noted a turn-around during the first quarter of 2019 with the Brisbane CBD moving into an upswing cycle with increased leasing activity and stronger investor support. 
Savills’ Quarter Times Report has recorded a steady start to the year with the Brisbane occupier market recording net effective rental growth of circa 2% emerging across varying grade quality of buildings. The report also highlighted yield contraction over the 12 months to March 2019 of circa 25bps across A and B Grade assets.  
Anthony Ott, Savills managing director,  said that the research reflects a strong start for the year. 
“Investment activity across the first quarter was in excess of $1 billion worth of CBD office assets transacted or formally being offered for sale with at least another $1billion worth of assets earmarked for sale during Q2.  
“This follows on from a strong 2018, where sale volumes in the Brisbane CBD totalled circa $2.3 billion,” Mr Ott said. 
According to Savills Research asset values of properties formally marketed in the first quarter of the year were up approximately 50% on the corresponding period in 2018.  
“There is positive investment sentiment given the level of activity not only in the CBD but also the fringe and suburban markets and this is continuing to flow through in the second quarter with a number of owners positioning to divest.” Mr Ott said.  
Comparative value of Brisbane assets relative to Sydney has been a key factor in driving increased investor demand. 
“There is a capital value spread between Brisbane and Sydney of approximately $10,000 per square metre and a yield spread of approximately 115bps, so the metrics are pretty compelling,” Mr Ott said. 
Mr Ott said that new projects and infrastructure activity such as Cross River Rail, Brisbane Metro, Queens Wharf, the second runaway at Brisbane Airport, and the Howard Smith Wharves development will all have a positive influence on investors perspective over the next 5 -10 years. 
“These major projects are giving investors’ confidence that Brisbane is entering a new growth phase,” he said.

A Brisbane CBD basement has become the new home for a First Nations owned and operated art gallery.
The Henderson Gallery have taken up occupancy in the basement of 300 Adelaide Street, leasing the 489 sqm space through Savills.
The lease was negotiated by Executive of Savills Commercial Leasing, Daniel Paxton, on a five year term plus options.
“The space is traditionally a tricky tenancy to lease, however the refurbishment by LSH Property enabled us to gain traction and led to three serious parties interested in the space,” Mr Paxton said.
The Henderson Gallery is owned by Robert Henderson, Wiradjuri, focusing on First Nations art experiences for domestic and international visitors.  
The Henderson Gallery offers "exhibitions, First Nations influenced menus in Birrang Café, wine bar, live performances and more."
Mr Paxton said the Gallery have also leased a 159 sqm suite within the building to house their not-for-profit foundation, The Wayne Weaver Foundation.  
The Henderson Gallery opened in their new location on February 23 2019.
