SYDNEY
A Sydney-based, Chinese investor has traded just over $50 million for a commercial free hold site at 499 Kent Street in Sydney. The investor has plans to re-develop.
Despite some noticeable cooling across sales of Sydney land, this acquisition demonstrates the continued health for well-located sites that hold promising commercial or residential development.
"499 Kent Street drew strong interest from local and offshore investors and developers as it is one of the last development opportunities of this scale within this precinct of Sydney's CBD," Knight Frank's Andy Hu said.
GOSFORD
An A-Grade purpose built Australian Taxation Office complex in Gosford has recently changed hands. The City of Brisbane Investment Corporation (CBIC) bought the completed property from Canberra-based developer and owner, Doma Group, for $43.5 million.
Given Gosford’s growth and demand, along with the strong 10-year-long government tenure, the site drew a lot of attention.
Colliers International's Paul Powderly, James Barber and Adam Leacy managed the sale.
