ENN CEO, Glenn Willis, said: “We are pleased to have secured another high-quality office building in the recovering Perth market for our investors. We believe this asset offers our capital partners an attractive entry point reflecting an underlying land value at cyclically low rent levels.
ENN’s Co-Head of Real Estate, David Burgess, added: “This off-market acquisition was compelling given multiple options to enhance the value of the property including: re-branding and re-leasing the existing building at prevailing market rents, redevelopment of the site in response to an office pre-lease requirement, or further alternative strategies including the master planning of the site to optimise the underlying land value ”
