ADELAIDE - $174.65 million
Despite restrictions preventing an in-person viewing, a Melbourne-based petrol tycoon has splashed out close to $175 million for the CBD home of People’s Choice Credit Union, in the biggest office deal in Adelaide for more than two years.
Nick Andrianakos leads Nikos Property Group which will take over 50 Flinders Street as the new proprietors from vendor Cbus Property. Nikos Property also owns the adjacent Santos Centre, paying $101.35 million for that property in 2018.
Nikos Property investment manager Paul Lachal said COVID-19 restrictions prevented the family from inspecting the property before its purchase, but it had a “fair degree of confidence in the Adelaide market”.
“We actually bought the building without inspecting it – we had experts review it and we knew it because we own the building next door,” Mr Lachal said.
“We look at Adelaide and while we may not get the type of capital growth that we could get in other centres there’s a consistency of income.”
The 15-storey building comprises around 22,000sqm of space and is fully leased to anchor tenant People’s Choice Credit Union and other tenants including oil & gas giant Santos.
Knight Frank’s Guy Bennett handled the transaction.
