Doma seals Canberra, Newcastle office lease deals
Canberra based developer and investor Doma Property, which turned 50 last year, has sealed four office lease deals.
In Newcastle, the group has committed Adecco, Ausgrid and Medilogic to an eight level building under construction at 42 Honeysuckle Drive (pictured, top).
With the agreements, the 5830 square metre A-grade asset – the city’s first mass timber commercial workspace – is full.
Beside a Little National Hotel (Doma’s boutique hospitality brand), part of the Honeysuckle precinct, the property is aiming to be one of the only in Australia with a 6-star Green Star rating.
Its NABERs score is 5.5.
On 7150 sqm, there are also 174 car parks.
“The fully electric building has attracted tenants not only for its cutting-edge sustainability credentials, which align with their ESG goals, but also the premium amenity of the surrounding area,” a spokesperson for the developer said.
“Demand for new, high quality office space remains strong in Newcastle with net absorption averaging over 7000 sqm per annum post-COVID, according to Property Council of Australia data,” they added.
Colliers’ Peter Macadam was the leasing agent (story continues below).
