Property Fund Acquires Two Industrial Assets in High Growth Locations at a 19% Discount

Stirling has acquired two industrial assets at a 19% discount to replacement cost in Newcastle’s premier industrial estate and has exchanged on a third asset, a Large Format Retail centre, MacGregor Home, in South Brisbane’s most dominant large format retail precinct.

The three institutional quality assets are in high growth locations (population growth in Brisbane is 72% higher and Newcastle 63% higher than Sydney) with strong national tenants and are land rich.

Stirling’s Enhanced Yield Fund offers investors a premium return relative to peers:

• Cash distribution of 7.9% p.a. paid quarterly, and
• Total return of 13.3% p.a., gross tax effective for high tax bracket investors as a result of depreciation and tax deferral benefits

Stirling is focused on identifying mispriced institutional quality assets in great locations with strong tenants offering above-average risk-adjusted returns.
