What is an A-REIT?


A-REITs (Australian Real Estate Investment Trusts) are unlisted Australian wholesale property funds which provide investors with the opportunity to invest in large commercial property assets that they would not normally have access to on their own.

The appeal of A-REITs is that they open up investments to more people in large-scale commercial properties, such as shopping centres, office buildings or industrial properties. A-REITs are growing in popularity as an investment choice in Australia as they enable savvy investors to diversify and tap into the strong and consistent income stream on offer in the commercial property sector.

Sentinel Property Group, is at the forefront of this trend and offers a range of property investment funds which cater for sophisticated investors who want to access the benefits of direct commercial property and enjoy the regular superior returns on offer in commercial real estate.

Sentinel’s dedicated team of property experts ensures our real estate investment trusts provide investors with exposure to high-quality commercial properties with strong returns, solid tenants, long-term leases and excellent potential for future capital growth.

The focus of Sentinel REITS is on opportunistic buying of commercial property assets. Essentially, our investment strategies involve buying what other investment trust companies don’t want or don’t see the inherent value in. We then work hard to maximise returns for investors through active hands-on management and strategic value-adding.

Sentinel caters for sophisticated investors and Self Managed Super Funds (SMSFs) by allowing them to pool their money in real estate investment trusts and then collectively invest in large commercial property assets such as retail shopping centres, commercial offices and industrial buildings.

A-REITs provide exposure to the value of the real estate assets that the trust owns and the accompanying capital growth, as well as the ongoing rental income. A-REITs typically specialise in particular sectors such as industrial trusts, office trusts, retail trusts, hotel and leisure trusts as well as diversified trusts.

Sentinel is Australia’s commercial real estate investing leader, having successfully built a national portfolio of high performing real estate investment trusts in the following sectors:

  • Retail
  • Industrial
  • Commercial Office
  • Land
  • Tourism infrastructure
  • Agribusiness

Investing in REITs is ideal for investors and SMSFs looking at investing in commercial real estate that would ordinarily be out of their financial reach due to the large amounts required for an individual investment.

Why invest in a commercial REIT with Sentinel?

Capitalising on more than 20 years of high-level experience of Sentinel Property Group founder and commercial property leader Warren Ebert, Sentinel has built our success on being a ‘first mover’ that is ahead of the game. We are always looking to buy in sectors that are out of favour with the majority, including other real estate investment trusts.

Commercial property can be generally underrated as an investment class but not by those who enjoy the dependable returns it can deliver via the right REIT investment. It may not capture the headlines of off-the-plan apartment purchases or the stock market but commercial property investment, when done right, consistently outperforms its competitors.

Sentinel’s real estate investment trusts are consistently ranked as the best performing AREITS of their kind in Australia and are ideal for sophisticated high net worth investors and Self Managed Super Funds. For anyone looking at investing in Australia REITS, look no further than Sentinel Property Group.

The real estate assets that Sentinel REITS invest in boast high-quality tenant covenants and solid-long term rental returns which would not be accessible to individual property investors on their own. Our real estate trust investments are spread across a wide range of ASX-listed companies who are tenants in our secure commercial property assets.
