Investment Highlights

  • Fully-leased Large Format Retail centre: modern retail centre spanning 41,292 sqm, with 16,860 sqm of gross lettable area across 10 tenancies. Convenient parking for 387 vehicles enhances accessibility.
  • Value-add Opportunities: The asset includes two brand-new pad sites, pre-leased to Oporto and Kickstart Espresso, set for completion in 2025. Upon completion of the pad sites, the property will feature four individual titles, enabling potential to sell titles individually and potentially unlock a capital value premium.
  • Thriving Regional Location: Situated in Wagga Wagga, a high-growth regional hub, the population is forecast to increase by over 21% by 2036, with a current catchment of 121,794 people (Deep End Services).
  • Blue-Chip Tenancy Profile: The centre is fully leased, anchored by major national and ASX-listed retailers including Spotlight, Anaconda, Supercheap Auto, Petstock, and Autobarn. National brands occupy 100% of the property, with 71% of gross lettable area weighted toward retailers with over 50 stores nationwide.
  • Significant Rental Uplift Potential: Approximately 80% of the leased space is currently under-rented, presenting a strong opportunity to increase rental income as leases renew, driving higher returns
  • Significant Discount to Replacement Cost: The property offers an estimated 39% discount to replacement cost when factoring in land and build costs—making it highly cost-effective to acquire in the current market.
  • Undersupply of Key Retailers: A regional gap analysis reveals unmet demand from 39 large format retail brands not currently represented within the catchment area, underscoring strong tenant demand.
  • High Growth Asset Class (Large Format Retail): Large Format Retail (LFR) is well-positioned for continued growth fuelled by high replacement cost, population growth, historically low vacancy rates, strong demand from tenants, and limited supply.
