Centuria banks $200m from industrial assets

The Bidfood property at 67-69 Mandoon Road, Girraween.

Centuria has sold four investments on behalf of the Industrial REIT (CIP).

The Epping property, co-held with a Morgan Stanley fund, sold for $24.2m.

In the priciest deal, a cold storage facility it bought in 2021 at Girraween, west Sydney, traded for $98m.

It paid $73.1m.

That seller was the occupier, Bidfood, which offered the 25,420 square metre facility on 4.9 hectares with a seven year leaseback.

The disposal price was a 15 per cent premium to the June, 2025, book value,

“The asset had been earmarked for redevelopment before an off-market approach from an owner-occupier,” it added.

Adelaide sales

Meanwhile, Centuria has sold two assets four kilometres from each other in Adelaide’s north.

The most valuable was an office/warehouse in the Vicinity Industrial Base, 50-64 Mirage Road, Direk, which collected $50m – a 33pc premium to total project cost and 25pc internal rate of return.

On four hectares it contains 20,910 sqm, completed mid-last year and presently for lease.

The second Adelaide property, 32-54 Kaurna Ave, Edinburgh, fetched $22.7m – an eight per cent premium to book value (continues below).

Centuria outlaid $19.5m for this asset in 2019.

On 6.5ha, it contains a 13,007 sqm office/warehouse completed in 2013.

MTE is the occupier.

CIP, Morgan Stanley sell Melbourne asset

In Melbourne, Centuria sold 40 Scanlon Drive for $24.24m – a four per cent premium to book value.

CIP controlled a 50pc interest in that asset.

The Morgan Stanley backed Centuria Prime Logistics Partnership held the balance.

The pair paid Australian Unity $15.1m in mid-2021.

The on sale is to Westbridge which said it scored the 9371 sqm facility on 1.77ha at below replacement cost.
