Sentinel on hunt for more industrial assets in North Queensland
February 4, 2021
A LEADING syndicator has divested a southwestern Brisbane office/warehouse and will focus on acquiring more assets in the hot indsutrial sector, particularly in growth regions such as North Queensland.
A private investment fund paid $12.05m for the tenants facility at 141 Boundary rd, Oxley, after a deal struck by Colliers International’s Simon Beirne on behalf of Sentinel Property Group.
CoreLogic said Sentinel paid $10.04m for the property in 2015.
Sentinel executive chairman Warren Ebert said the Oxley property had been an excellent asset for Sentinel.
“The decision to sell this asset was based on Sentinel’s strategy of buying an opportune time and then selling based on our view of the market,” he said.
the 7818sqm office/warehouse on a 16,480sqm site is leased to automotive wheel and tyre company YHI Australia and the Queensland Government. The transaction realised a 7 per cent yield.
Mr Ebert said the industrial sector was a key focus for Sentinel. It recently acquiried new industrial assets in Townsville and Mackay.
“Sentinel will continue to target new acquisitions, particularly in growth regions such as North Queensland, and investigate all market opportunities for strategic investment,” he said.
