This week we recorded only 9 major deals worth $302M. The largest deal this week was the sale by Cromwell of 88 Musk Ave, Kelvin Grove to QUT. The sale at $84.0M represents a yield of 7.25% on the income from the tenants. Cromwell acquired the site as a fund through from a company related to one of Cromwell’s directors. Cromwell paid $88M for the land and construction over 2007 and 2008 and received an 18 month rental guarantee. The property was ultimately leased to Boral and QUT with a 4 year WALE yet retains a 17% vacancy. This was not a great deal for Cromwell.
