Yuhu Property Group finally Sell Eastwood Centre

26 July 2021

The Yuhu Property Group has finally sold the Eastwood Shopping Centre in Sydney’s north west, transacting well short of expectations.

Yuhu commenced looking for a buyer in 2019 following an approval for a 409-unit residential and retail expansion in August that year. Yuhu had hoped to sell the property for $200m – $250m.

Poly Australia were reported to be one of the contenders for the project but reports emerged that they pulled out following revelations in 2019 that a Ryde Councillor and Deputy Mayor allegedly failed to declare a $4m stake in Yuhu’s Pymble Office building, when he was voting on the Council’s approval of the Eastwood Centre redevelopment.

The group entered contracts in late April at a price of $155m with settlement completing on the 15th July.

Little is known about the purchaser, Mr Tang, a resident in Sydney’s northern suburbs.
