Bob Ell banks major capital gain at Milperra
Bob Ell’s Leda Holdings has banked a substantial capital gain from an older-style Milperra industrial investment held for four years.
The 7.71 hectare holding, 270-286 Horsely Road, is trading for $152 million, reflecting a 2.8 per cent passing yield, to ESR which is intending to replace it with a multi-level business park.
Leda paid Lennox Industrial $52m – a 4.07pc return.
Heatcraft has occupied the asset with 38,613 square metres of improvements, since the 1960s.
Elsewhere in the suburb, four months ago, Pittwater Industrial outlaid $34.2m for a warehouse on 3.12ha at 373 Horsely Rd leased to UGL.
That sale also reflected an impressive short term capital gain – with vendor Gsan paying $10.25m in 2015.
Leda reweights
Colliers’ Gavin Bishop, Trent Gallagher and Sean Thompson brokered the off-market 270-286 Horsely Rd deal (story continues below).
The disposal comes eight months since Leda paid $57m for a business park with development upside on 4.68ha at North Rocks, near Parramatta.
That deal, with private vendors which outlaid $7.4m in 1997, reflected a 4.2pc yield.
In 2020 Leda banked $38.2m – a 5.4pc yield – selling an Ingleburn industrial investment to EG’s Australian Core Enhanced Fund.
That asset, 5 Williamson Road, cost the vendor $24.75m three years earlier.
Milperra is about 24 kilometres south west of Sydney.
