Yields Tighten & Prices Reach New Highs

Aug 2016 – The commercial market continues to set new bench marks in terms of prices and yields as purchasers compete to enter the commercial market.

In the last 3 months we have concluded over $30M of sales to investors and owner occupiers with results exceeding expectations.

We have seen yields regularly fall below 5%. Our sale of 110-112 Willoughby Road Crows Nest at $5.61M equated to a yield of 3.85%. This increase in prices is driven by a lack of property being offered for sale, lower interest rates and the desire to own a tangible asset.

Over 10,000 sqm Leased in First Half of 2016

July 2016 – Vacancy rates across the North Shore continue to fall and leasing markets are stronger than they have been for many years.

This improvement is helped by the strength of Sydney’s economy where the unemployment rate has fallen to 5.2% the lowest rate in Australia.

Tenant demand is being boosted by older office buildings being re-developed for residential. A recent examples is 504 Pacific Highway, St Leonards a 10,00sqm office building which has been vacated and is now being demolished.

The Sydney Metro is having a similar impact with numerous tenants having to vacate buildings in North Sydney, Crows Nest and Chatswood pending demolition in early 2017.

This forced moving of tenants is creating additional demand and has been the motivating factor behind 27% of our lettings this year. Overall our leasing team has leased more than 10,000 sqm in the first half of 2016 an increase of 12% compared to this time last year.

We estiamte this will result in over 20,000sqm of commercial tenants having to relocate in a market taht is already tightening. Further information can be found in the link to our Dec 2015 Market Report on teh Home Page.

Market Report Published

Aug 2015 – Further information on the North Shore commercial markets can be found in our latest Market Report which is available on our Home Page. The report highlights the resurgent leasing markets where vacancy rates have now fallen to a level where some owners can start to increase rents. We do caution that not all markets are running at the same point and increased supply in the City where Barangaroo and other developments are coming on stream could affect nearby North Sydney. In the sales market we comment on the increase in demand which has seen prices jump higher again and possibly reach the point where they may level out until rents increase. That said the level of demand for all forms of property is far higher than the amount of property being offered for sale.

Yields Tighten & Prices Reach New Highs

In the last 3 months we have concluded over $30M of sales to investors and owner occupiers with results exceeding expectations.

We have seen yields regularly fall below 5%. Our sale of 110-112 Willoughby Road Crows Nest at $5.61M equated to a yield of 3.85%. This increase in prices is driven by a lack of property being offered for sale, lower interest rates and the desire to own a tangible asset.

Over 10,000 sqm Leased in First Half of 2016

July 2016 – Vacancy rates across the North Shore continue to fall and leasing markets are stronger than they have been for many years.

This improvement is helped by the strength of Sydney’s economy where the unemployment rate has fallen to 5.2% the lowest rate in Australia.

Tenant demand is being boosted by older office buildings being re-developed for residential. A recent examples is 504 Pacific Highway, St Leonards a 10,00sqm office building which has been vacated and is now being demolished.

The Sydney Metro is having a similar impact with numerous tenants having to vacate buildings in North Sydney, Crows Nest and Chatswood pending demolition in early 2017.

This forced moving of tenants is creating additional demand and has been the motivating factor behind 27% of our lettings this year. Overall our leasing team has leased more than 10,000 sqm in the first half of 2016 an increase of 12% compared to this time last year.

Further information can be found in the link to our Dec 2015 Market Report on teh Home Page.

Market Report Published

Aug 2015 – Further information on the North Shore commercial markets can be found in our latest Market Report which is available on our Home Page. The report highlights the resurgent leasing markets where vacancy rates have now fallen to a level where some owners can start to increase rents. We do caution that not all markets are running at the same point and increased supply in the City where Barangaroo and other developments are coming on stream could affect nearby North Sydney. In the sales market we comment on the increase in demand which has seen prices jump higher again and possibly reach the point where they may level out until rents increase. That said the level of demand for all forms of property is far higher than the amount of property being offered for sale.

This sale equated to over $8,000/sqm boosted by being opposite the future Sydney metro Sttation.

Over 20,500sqm Leased in 2016

Jan 2017 – Our leasing teams in North Sydney and Chatswood finished the year by completing over 20,500sqm of lettings across the North Shore an increase of 8% on 2015 which was also a strong year.

Notable lettings in the last quarter on 2016 included; 1,158sqm leased to Nextgen at 99 Mount Street, North Sydney and 500sqm leased to Outperformers at 111 Union Street, McMahons Point.

Freehold prices jumped higher again in the second half of the year and not be outdone strata prices have also risen strongly as evidenced by 2 deals at the end of the year we sold a whole floor strata investment in North Sydney for $1.75M and another whole floor strata investment at Crows Nest for over $1.9M.

These sales showed the depth of demand for all forms of commercial property as buyers chase yield in a low interest rate world.

Yields Tighten & Prices Reach New Highs

Aug 2016 – The commercial market continues to set new bench marks in terms of prices and yields as purchasers compete to enter the commercial market.

In the last 3 months we have concluded over $30M of sales to investors and owner occupiers with results exceeding expectations.

We have seen yields regularly fall below 5%. Our sale of 110-112 Willoughby Road Crows Nest at $5.61M equated to a yield of 3.85%. This increase in prices is driven by a lack of property being offered for sale, lower interest rates and the desire to own a tangible asset.

Over 10,000 sqm Leased in First Half of 2016

July 2016 – Vacancy rates across the North Shore continue to fall and leasing markets are stronger than they have been for many years.

This improvement is helped by the strength of Sydney’s economy where the unemployment rate has fallen to 5.2% the lowest rate in Australia.

Tenant demand is being boosted by older office buildings being re-developed for residential. A recent examples is 504 Pacific Highway, St Leonards a 10,00sqm office building which has been vacated and is now being demolished.

The Sydney Metro is having a similar impact with numerous tenants having to vacate buildings in North Sydney, Crows Nest and Chatswood pending demolition in early 2017.

This forced moving of tenants is creating additional demand and has been the motivating factor behind 27% of our lettings this year. Overall our leasing team has leased more than 10,000 sqm in the first half of 2016 an increase of 12% compared to this time last year.

Dulux Leased Investment Sold For $11.4M

We estiamte this will result in over 20,000sqm of commercial tenants having to relocate in a market taht is already tightening. Further information can be found in the link to our Dec 2015 Market Report on teh Home Page.

Market Report Published

Aug 2015 – Further information on the North Shore commercial markets can be found in our latest Market Report which is available on our Home Page. The report highlights the resurgent leasing markets where vacancy rates have now fallen to a level where some owners can start to increase rents. We do caution that not all markets are running at the same point and increased supply in the City where Barangaroo and other developments are coming on stream could affect nearby North Sydney. In the sales market we comment on the increase in demand which has seen prices jump higher again and possibly reach the point where they may level out until rents increase. That said the level of demand for all forms of property is far higher than the amount of property being offered for sale.
