Keppel REIT acquires 50% stake in 255 George Street in Sydney for $321.0m

The freehold Grade A office building has a committed occupancy rate of 93%.

Keppel REIT has deepened its partnership with Mirvac Funds Management Australia Limited with the acquisition of a 50% stake in 255 George Street, a freehold Grade A office building in Sydney, Australia, for A$363.8m ($321.0m).

Apart from  255 George Street, the REIT co-owns 8 Chifley Square in Sydney and David Malcolm Justice Centre in Perth with Mirvac.

In a bourse filing, the REIT said 255 George Street will generate a first-year yield that exceeds 6.0% and DPU accretion of 1.4%1 on a pro forma basis. 

Mirvac will be “providing rent guarantee on existing vacancies and potential expiries,” the REIT said.

Post-acquisition, Keppel REIT’s Singapore-centric portfolio will be worth $9.6b across 13 properties in Singapore (76.5% of AUM), Australia (19.3% of AUM), South Korea (3.3% of AUM) and Japan (0.9% of AUM), and the proportion of freehold assets in its portfolio will increase from 33.2% to 36.4% (by NLA).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
