investment sale

30-32 Raymond Avenue, Matraville

Link Property Services were appointed on the sale of a 1,634 sq m vacant site at 30-32 Raymond Ave Matraville.

We immediately canvassed the adjoining owner, who was Melbourne based, to advise of the opportunity and we subsequently negotiated the sale of the vacant site to them.

As a result of the site consolidation, the owner was able to design two adjoining office/warehouse buildings of 2,053 sqm & 1,249 sqm respectively , and secure a pre-commitment for the site.  Link Property Services were then appointed as property managers over the development.

Leading up to the initial tenant’s expiry, Link was engaged to market the property for lease which led to a 10 year lease of the entire property to international freight & logistic business Austway Express.

After securing the long term commitment, the vendor made the decision to sell the properties and appointed Link Property Services as their exclusive sale agents. The EOI campaign offered the properties to market either in one-line or as separate free standing properties. The campaign generated  a strong level of interest and the development was sold in one-line to a private investor at the completion of the EOI campaign.

Link Property Services were then re-appointed as their managing agents and after this extraordinary full agency undertaking continue to manage both properties today.

leasing

395 Pembroke Road, Minto
Client | Goodman

Independent Warehouse Solutions (IWS), a privately owned transport and logistics firm, were in the process of being awarded the Lowes (Menswear) contract and as such, required additional space to accommodate this particular requirement. A consultant with whom we had previous dealings with, introduced Link Property Services to IWS. There was an immediate connection and Link were engaged exclusively to secure suitable premises for IWS. After an extensive search for approximately 9,000 sqm of warehouse space across Western Sydney, Link identified a Goodman owned facility of 9,192sqm at Keylink North Industrial Estate, Minto, which was optimal for IWS from a location and operational perspective. Link then negotiated commercial terms which were ideal for both Goodman and IWS. Goodman benefited by achieving the asking rental with no letting up period, whilst IWS inherited racking and other infrastructure within the facility, which saved them substantial capital expenditure for the setup of their operation.

60 O’Riordan Street, Alexandria
Tenant | Australian Automotive Group Pty Ltd

On behalf of an established private client, we were able to negotiate an outcome that included repositioning their asset with capital works to transform the facility from a traditional office / warehouse into a substantial automotive showroom and service centre for an established brand, who committed to a 10 year lease.  Link Property Services introduced Australian Automotive Group Pty Ltd for the relocation of their Ford Motors dealership from Zetland, which included a new façade, vehicle lift, and 2 storey car park to complement their intended use. The 4,589 sqm facility sit on a high profile 7,666 sqm site ideally suited to this operation.   Through repositioning the asset and securing a long term commitment from such an established business, we were able to deliver a substantial uplift in our client’s property value.

vacant possession

21 Amax Avenue, Girraween

Stemming from a referral by a previous business client, Link Property Services had been providing the owner of 21 Amax Ave Girraween market advice and updates for a number of years prior to their eventual decision to dispose of the property.

Due to the prevailing market conditions at the time combined with the attributes of the property it was Links recommendation to offer the property for sale by Public Auction.

The 1583 sqm premises had been built as 3 individual and self-contained units on a 3,083 sqm site  enabling the offering to be either vacant possession , part, or full leaseback , therefore allowing for a wide diversity of prospective purchasers. The further possibility of potential to strata subdivide the 3 units STCA added another option to purchasers / developers.

Interest in the property was exceptionally strong and generated a number of offers prior to the auction date. It was Links recommendation to therefore amend the sale process to formal tender with those interested parties being given the opportunity to submit a formal offer by tender by a given closing date. Multiple offers were received and contracts were exchanged with the highest & best offer for our clients interests.

The sale price of $6.85 million was a strong reflection of the interest in the premises from a diverse range of purchasers , and represented an outstanding outcome for our long term client.
