SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - Keppel REIT has agreed to acquire a 100% stake in Pinnacle Office Park from Goodman Group.

The development is a freehold Grade A commercial property with three office buildings in Macquarie Park in Sydney.

It has a total net lettable area of 378,165 sq ft and is currently 96.3% occupied, with key tenants such as Coles Supermarkets and Konica Minolta.

Pinnacle Office Park is located near Macquarie Park Metro Station and a major bus interchange. With the completion of the City and Southwest metro rail in 2024, the CBD will be 20 minutes away. Tenants enjoy amenities such as a childcare centre, gym, end-of-trip facilities, and a cafe.

The acquisition of the Pinnacle Office Park is a result of portfolio optimisation efforts to improve income resilience and portfolio yield, says Paul Tham, CEO of the REIT manager.

“In the wake of Covid-19, we believe demand in Australia for quality and well-networked metropolitan locations, such as Macquarie Park, will increase as more companies seek cost-effective solutions or adopt a hub-and-spoke business model for office locations,” he adds.

The property has an initial net property income yield of 5.25%. The acquisition is targeted to be completed in 4Q2020.
