Sirona Capital (Sirona) has launched a second round capital raise for one of its real estate investment funds, the Pakenham Street Investment Fund (Fund).

Sirona is seeking to raise $2.365 million to facilitate the development of a 120 key, 4 ½ star apartment hotel in Fremantle (Development) underpinned by a 15+ year lease to Quest, Australia’s leading apartment hotel operator. These funds are additional to the first round capital raise of $9.675 million which enabled the acquisition of the development site and pre-construction works to be undertaken.

The key investment highlights of the Fund include:

  • Attractive investment returns – forecast income distribution of 13.0% p.a. (average and post fees, pre-tax) over an 8 year term, with distributions paid quarterly following completion of the Development
  • Prime CBD location with an established tourism market – strategically located in the historic “West End” heritage precinct of Fremantle, a strategic metropolitan centre with a long established commerce and tourism economy
  • Undersupply of hotel rooms – the local hotel market is experiencing an acute supply shortage and leads the nation of key industry metrics (occupancy and RevPAR)
  • Strong leasing covenant – 15+5+5+5 year lease with 4% fixed annual escalation, underwritten by a Quest corporate guarantee
  • Development risks mitigated – all planning approvals have been obtained, a well experienced builder has been appointed under a fixed price contract and pre-construction works completed
  • Construction finance in place – credit approved senior construction and term debt facilities in place with a leading Australian commercial bank
  • Barriers to entry – significant land, planning and financing barriers for new market entrants limiting supply side competition

The Fund has an expected term of 8.0 years.

It is the question every capital allocator is asking about AI. Trillions of dollars are going into chips, data centres and power. That is […]
