Our Views
The vendor has effectively made a loss on the transaction (after transactions costs) which is disappointing for investors after a 4.5 year holding period.
Convenience Centres which are part of a mixed use scheme are difficult to grow in value unless there is expected to be substaintial population growth in the immediate vicinity.
