Perth, 28 October 2015 – Strong investment demand for premium retail assets has triggered the sale of one of Perth’s premium and longest established large format retail complexes, Joondalup Gate in the city’s northern suburbs.
Located approximately 25 kilometres from the Perth CBD, Joondalup Gate is a 24,533sqm large format retail centre comprising 32 tenancies across seven buildings, generating an estimated net income of $5.24 million per annum on a fully leased basis.
Anchored by national tenants Dan Murphy, BCF Australia, Rays Outdoors and Freedom Furniture, Joondalup Gate is regarded as one of Perth’s premier retail destinations, being WA’s third largest major homemaker centre, servicing a main trade area population of more than 347,000.
CBRE’s Peter Agostino, Andrew Woodley-Page and Peter Rossi have been exclusively appointed by owners Joondalup Gate Pty Ltd to sell the premium asset via an Expressions of Interest campaign closing November 19.
Mr Agostino said it was the first time the centre had ever been offered for sale and represented an outstanding opportunity to gain a footprint in Western Australia’s retail investment market.
“The opportunity to purchase a retail investment with such attractive lease covenants and prominent positioning has already generated significant interest from a range of offshore, national and local buyers,” Mr Agostino said.
“There has been a surge of interest recently in retail investment opportunities across the country and the sale of this asset will tap further into the strengthening demand.”
Mr Agostino went on to say the 6.41 hectare site also held scope for further development potential.
“With fantastic exposure to Joondalup Drive and Mitchell Freeway, this prominent landholding has future potential to accommodate extensions and further development, reaffirming its position as the leading retail hub of Perth’s north,” Mr Agostino said.
Joondalup Gate is strategically positioned near the corner of Joondalup Drive and Ocean Reef Road – the major east-west link connecting the coast to Wanneroo and surrounding suburbs.
