The pre-sale of the 107 Overton Road asset reached settlement following the recent completion of the 3,126sqm office building, which is leased to the Victorian State Government.
CBRE sales agent Scott Orchard said that “this is one of the first major, off-the-plan office deals to be completed in this current construction cycle, which is very significant for market confidence.
“Investors have made clear their intentions to focus on properties with sound fundamentals and we are already experiencing a ‘flight to quality’ where well-located assets with reliable income streams are keenly sought.”
