The opportunity

Investment overview

Investment overview

Today’s office market is no longer moving as one. Demand is concentrating in high-quality, well-located buildings with strong amenity and transport accessibility, while secondary buildings face greater leasing and capital expenditure challenges.

In this environment, selectivity matters. It creates rare opportunities to acquire high quality assets that have been temporarily mispriced. Centuria believes it has found one such opportunity in 680 George Street and 50 Goulburn Street, Sydney (property or asset).

This prime-grade office tower in Sydney CBD represents a counter-cyclical investment opportunity. This is not a broad bet on an office recovery. It is a targeted allocation to a landmark Sydney CBD asset, chosen after 13 years of restraint, at a point in the cycle where uncertainty has created opportunity.

Given Centuria’s conviction in this Fund, it is electing to take management fees in the form of units, building a growing co-investment alongside investors over the Fund term.

Investment rationale

The Fund has a well-considered investment proposition, driven by numerous underlying factors. Key reasons to invest include:

  • Counter-cyclical acquisition metrics: Being acquired at a market capitalisation rate of 7.5%4, which we consider to be attractive relative to recent comparable transactions and long-term averages for Sydney CBD office buildings. It also reflects a discount to replacement cost of approximately 60%
  • One of Australia’s best performing office markets: The Sydney CBD – Australia’s pre-eminent office market – recorded the strongest net absorption across all major Australian cities in 2024 and 2025 (86,000 sqm p.a.), which was also its highest level in a decade.5
  • Prime location: The asset has unrivalled access to premium retail amenity and public transport as it sits above the World Square complex and is in close proximity to Gadigal Metro Station and Light Rail station.
  • Precinct outperformance: The property is located in the Midtown precinct, which recorded the strongest net absorption of all Sydney CBD precincts in 2025 (33,000 sqm) and offers an attractive value proposition for tenants since rents are approximately 25% lower than the Core.6
  • Diversified cash flow: 26 tenants7 anchored by government, ASX-listed and multi-national companies including Property NSW, ServiceNow and Southern Cross Austereo.
  • Strong income visibility: 88% leased asset with 3.6-year WALE (by income)8, long-dated lease expiries extending to 2033-2036, fixed annual rent reviews and a two-year vendor rental guarantee over vacant space.
  • Limited future supply: Net office supply within the Sydney CBD is projected to reduce by approximately 20,000 sqm p.a. over the next five years. Furthermore, there is no new office supply forecast in the Midtown precinct from 2026 to 2032.
  • Significant stock withdrawals: Around 300,000 sqm of office stock is potentially being withdrawn from the Sydney CBD and approximately 200,000 sqm is located in the Midtown and Southern precincts, placing pressure on both rents and vacancy rates.

Management

The Fund will be managed by an experienced team with a proven track record of navigating various market cycles.

The team were also directly involved with some of Centuria’s past successful unlisted office funds, such as 10 Spring Street Sydney, 175 Castlereagh Street, Sydney and The Zenith, Chatswood, which achieved IRRs of between 20-30%.

Property highlights

A landmark Sydney CBD office tower that includes two buildings at 680 George Street and 50 Goulburn Street.

This prime-grade office property aligns directly with current occupier requirements – high quality workplace, transport-led accessibility and amenity-rich surroundings.

  • At a ground level, the buildings are seamlessly integrated into the vibrant World Square complex, Sydney CBD’s second largest retail destination – placing tenants above an area visited by over 20 million people each year, with dining, retail and everyday services literally at the door.
  • The property also has strong accessibility and connectivity across Greater Sydney with immediate access to major rail and metro infrastructure, including the Gadigal Metro Station, Town Hall Station, Museum Station and the Light Rail running along George Street.

Completed in the 2005, both buildings have recently undergone significant refurbishment. From the lobby onwards, it has a high-quality presentation, premium end-of-trip and wellness facilities and a sustainability profile built for the modern occupier. Its large floorplates are flooded with natural light and upper levels deliver 360-degree city-skyline and harbour views, reinforcing the asset’s ‘landmark’ appeal.

1. The distribution forecast is for the first two financial years from the assumed settlement date of the property on 1 September 2026 to 30 June 2028. The subsequent three-year and two-month period ending 31 August 2031 are distribution targets. Forecast distributions shown are annual and pre-tax. Distributions will be paid if declared by Centuria Property Funds No. 2 Limited and will be subject to the terms, assumptions and risks set out in the Information Memorandum (IM). The forecast distribution rate is predictive in nature and is subject to assumptions, risks and circumstances (both known and unknown) outside of the control of the Fund. These assumptions include that all tenants will satisfy their contractual obligations under their respective leases within a timely manner, there are no significant unforeseen capital costs or material changes to the Fund’s financial obligations. The actual returns may differ from the target/forecast return. Centuria does not guarantee the performance of the Fund, the repayment of capital or any income or capital return. Past performance is not reliable indicator of future performance. In addition, given the current volatility in interest rate forecasts, should interest rates normalise at higher (or lower) than forecast levels, target/forecast distributions may be revised.

2. Modelled target Internal Rate of Return (IRR) applying assumptions including terminal capitalisation rates for the property. The modelled target IRR is subject to due diligence and the modelled return is not a forecast and is provided for the information of financial advisers and wholesale investors only. The modelled target IRR is net of fees, pre-tax and based on Centuria’s acquisition modelling but is highly contingent on the key future assumptions, which are not contracted or certain. No guarantee is made that the modelled target IRR, or any of the assumptions and variables used to calculate the IRR, will be achieved and the actual IRR may differ materially from the modelled IRR.

3. Projected tax deferred distributions are estimates only and subject to Australian taxation law and the Fund’s future performance. Tax deferrals will reduce an investor’s cost base for CGT purposes.

4. Based on an independent valuation, the Property Interest is being acquired at a market capitalisation rate of 7.50%. Recent Sydney CBD office transactions have occurred at yields closer to 5.50%–6.50%.
