Case Study

The brief was simple: to source and negotiate a commercial property in the Sydney Metro area which met the following requirements; prominent position, good yield, secure tenant, surrounded by established businesses, long-term lease, annual increases, sound building and good prospects for growth.

We regularly undertake acquisition and consultancy work in South Sydney and Alexandria. Our team boast an intimate understanding of the market and properties within the area and our experience working with owners in the area enabled us to approach one directly and secure an off-market, modern “High Tech” commercial property in Alexandria.

The property showing a 7.2% net return (remember this is less than 5km from the CBD), 4% annual reviews, 4 x 3 x 3 lease, tenant paid all outgoings, profile tenant, surrounded by prominent business in the vicinity (Redbull, Grounds Café, Fitness Australia, Pacific Brands, Suntory, to name a few).
