Industrial remains a highly sought-after segment of the property market, both from the perspective of tenancy with new online e-commerce business entering the market, and from domestic and offshore investors with an appetite for well-located assets. This high level of interest was reflected in another strong period of like-for-like valuation growth of $61.4 million, or 5.9%, excellent leasing outcomes to high quality tenants (over 115,340 sqm leased) and occupancy high at 99%. The main drivers of industrial demand remain largely positive, with solid export levels, strong population growth and continued growth in e-commerce retail. Plans for major infrastructure investment by State and Federal governments with a focus on transport infrastructure, particularly in New South Wales and Victoria is also expected to be a long- term driver of demand. Acquisitions and Divestments Growthpoint was involved in two major industrial transactions over FY18, both of which generated positive outcomes for the Group: Sale of 522-550 Wellington Road, Mulgrave, Victoria In November 2017, Growthpoint announced it had entered into contracts for the sale of 522-550 Wellington Road, Mulgrave, Victoria for $90.75 million, representing a 37.7% premium to the 30 June 2017 book valuation of $65.9 million. The income yield on the sale price was a record 5.2% per annum for a Woolworths distribution centre. The sale of Mulgrave was a particularly favourable outcome for Growthpoint’s Securityholders and an endorsement of the Group’s highly desirable property portfolio. The sale was consistent with management’s stated intention which was to seek to realise material upside in the sale of assets with future development potential to a higher and better use.
