JV acquires Goodsell Building for $60.2 million Property Web Feb 24, 2006  Mirvac Group has acquired the Goodsell Building in Sydney for $60.2 million in a 50-50 joint venture with the Australian Retirement Fund (ARF). The vendor was the NSW State Government, who is also the current tenant in the building until at least February 2008. The Goodsell Building is an 18 level commercial property comprising 13,550 sqm of net lettable area and basement car parking for 25 cars. The property is located on the corner of Hunter, Phillip and Elizabeth Streets in Sydney CBD. The NSW State Government is currently paying a passing gross office rent of $365 per sqm. Mirvac's joint venture partner in the acquisition, ARF, appointed James Fielding Funds Management in August 2003 to source, undertake and manage property investments. The mandate is primarily focused on property development and value adding projects including the refurbishment and re-letting of existing buildings. "This site is one of the last premium development sites in the Sydney CBD and Mirvac together with ARF are investigating a number of redevelopment options for the site after the lease to the current tenant expires," said Nicholas Collishaw, CEO Investments for Mirvac. "This is an outstanding medium-term redevelopment opportunity, being located in the heart of the CBD financial district and adjacent to a number of Sydney's best premium grade buildings including the recently completed Deutsche Bank Place (126 Phillip Street), Chifley Tower and Aurora Place," he added. Settlement is expected to take place in April 2006. |
