Mitsubishi buys into $2b Darling Harbour project

The 48 level tower will contain apartments and offices.

Mitsubishi Real Estate has bought a half stake in a $2 billion apartment, office and retail complex, at Darling Harbour.

Mitsubishi and Mirvac are delivering Docklands’ Quarter East Tower.

Mirvac was the seller and will hold the balance of the project, part of its Harbourside precinct.

It is already building: the 48 level tower with 260 apartments, with 35,000 square metres of office space and ground floor retail, secured $800m in pre-sales and a commitment to the commercial area.

Post completion, Mirvac will also manage it.

Harbourside is also set for a hectare sized park and public art – new and upgraded – worth a total $57m.

The deal comes five months since Japan based Mitsubishi Real Estate teamed with Perifa to replace the ex-Balmain Leagues Club with an $800m residential based mixed-use complex.

The Japanese group is also teaming with Lendlease for projects in the CBD – One Circular Quay, One Darling Harbour and 1 Darling Point Rd, amongst them – and in Melbourne’s Docklands, the Quarter East Tower.

This year it has also been seeking to sell stakes in the Sydney CBD’s Salesforce tower, which carries a $2b end value.
