INVESTMENT SPECIALITY : Repositioning of Retail Real Estate

INVESTMENT SPECIALITY

Elanor’s market-leading capability in originating retail value-add opportunities, and executing the repositioning strategies for these assets, is delivering superior risk-adjusted returns for investors. Elanor has a strong track record of repositioning retail real estate with an average return on realised investments of 25% p.a.

UNIQUE INVESTING METHODOLOGY

Informed by a detailed review of the Australian retail landscape, focusing on non-discretionary, every day needs focused shopping centres.

Prevailing market conditions provide the opportunity for:

  • Proactive and targeted acquisitions of assets which meet strict investment criteria
  • Unlocking the value of high quality real estate, realising its highest and best use
  • Generating outsized risk-adjusted returns

TRACK RECORD

Elanor’s market-leading capability in originating retail value-add opportunities and executing repositioning strategies has delivered an average of 25% p.a. IRR on realised investments.

Riverside Plaza (NSW) and Clifford Gardens (QLD), our most recent retail investments, were acquired at an average capitalisation rate of 7.9%. At these assets, we are introducing new, non-discretionary, everyday needs offerings to significantly improve the defensiveness of the assets’ cash flows. Following the execution of our repositioning strategies, these assets will be well sought after, as evidenced by our recent divestment of Auburn Central (NSW) in December 2020 at a capitalisation rate of 5.75%.

The Fund is forecast to deliver, over the five year hold period, an average distribution yield of 8%+ p.a. and a total return of 12%+ p.a.

The asset class where the market has no vote

Litigation funding returns are decided in a courtroom, not a cycle. Knightsbridge’s Head of Capital is careful to call that a different risk rather than a lower one, and his answer to it is spread, not concentration. Most alternative assets still answer to something. Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]

The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not

Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]

For more than half a century, the global condom industry has remained fundamentally unchanged, constrained by standard materials like latex and solid synthetic polymers. Despite widespread consumer demand for better alternatives, product design has treated the device strictly as a mechanical barrier, sacrificing feel for function. Sydney-based Eudaemon Technologies is setting out to upend that […]
