According to Jack Harrison of Cushman & Wakefield, the offering features a highly desirable and valuable net lease structure, “providing a ‘clean’ income profile with guaranteed rental growth and market reviews at options for a true “set and forget” investment.”
“The asset sits in a liquid investment class within Sydney’s CBD and presents to an extremely high standard following the recent major CAPEX upgrades; we anticipate this opportunity to be highly sought after by a multitude of buyers both domestic and off-shore” he said.
JLL’s Willem Watson said, “The attractive long WALE comprising an initial lease term of 12 years with ~9 years remaining and 10 years of options ensures long term income security, and will be a key attribute for savvy investors, looking for a safe haven CBD asset.
“There is a scarcity of quality investment offerings within the Sydney CBD, particularly at this sub $50m price point. Additionally, The Castlereagh Club is an iconic piece of Sydney’s history. The upgraded offering of a brand-new restaurant, designed by celebrity chef Colin Fassnidge is sure to attract significant capital from a large pool of buyers, particularly as the asset also holds more than 100 gaming machine entitlements”.
