The REIT has proposed buying a 9.15-hectare freehold industrial property in Perth, Western Australia, for $38.5m (A$42.7m).
The property at 398 Bushmead Road and 286 Stirling Crescent is fully leased to Swan Materials under a 10-year triple-net lease that began on 1 October 2025.
The lease includes annual rental increases of 3.25% and two options to renew for a further 10 years each.
The acquisition is expected to provide a first-year net property income yield of 5.3%. Completion is expected in the second quarter of FY 2027.
