PARRAMATTA - $44.3 million
A Parramatta office tower has been snapped up by the City of Brisbane Investment Corporation (Brisbane City Council’s future fund) for just over $44 million from previous owners, Hadley Green Investment Group.
The sale of the A-grade building, at 9 George Street, comes during a time of high demand and low vacancy; Parramatta CBD's office vacancy is the lowest nationally at almost zero. Hadley Green purchased the building in 2015 for $30 million.
"While the Parramatta CBD has an excellent long-term future, the investment returns delivered over the past four years are very unlikely to be repeated in the foreseeable future," Hadley Green founder Hugh Zochling said.
"The re-rating of Parramatta capital values that has occurred in that period has significantly exceeded average historical returns.”
The sale was handled off-market by Colliers International's John McCann and Cushman & Wakefield's Steven Kearney.
