Brisbane office tower acquired for $41.75M
Stadia Capital, representing a private investor, has acquired the 333 Adelaide Street tower in the heart of Brisbane’s CBD Golden Triangle for $41.75 million.
The 14-storey B-Grade office tower is located at the northern gateway of Brisbane CBD’s Golden Triangle. It offers 7,499 sqm of net lettable area (NLA) on a 911 sqm site and has recently undergone an extensive capital expenditure program, with over $8.35 million invested in upgrades within the past 36 months. The building has had great tenant retention with over 50% of the tenants being in the building for 15-plus years.
Sold exclusively through Mike Walsh and Peter Court of Cushman & Wakefield along with asset manager Peter & Bill Costello of Costello Group one defining feature of 333 Adelaide Street is its weighted average lease expiry (WALE) of 4.42 years.
“The tower’s income is underpinned by a 12-year lease to Australian Moreton Education and is further reinforced by a diverse occupancy mix including the Australian Workers Union and Sydney Business Travel Academy. This tenancy mix ensures stability and a strong foundation for sustained growth,” said Walsh.
