“The sale…supports the solid investment demand for quality office assets,” a statement from the vendor said.

It also “improves portfolio composition and enables us to organically fund growth in our development and funds management businesses, while preserving capacity for further capital management initiatives”.

Dexus chief investment officer Ross Du Vernet added the transaction “reinforces private market demand for quality office assets in Australia’s gateway cities”.

The office is three per cent vacant. Covermore and Flight Centre are major occupiers.
