Deal significance:
Henry Davis York advised Goodman, in joint venture with Brickworks Limited, on the sale of the Coles Chilled Distribution Centre at Eastern Creek, west of Sydney, for $253 million to Mapletree Logistics Trust.
The 55,395 sq m chilled distribution centre was purpose-built for Coles in 2007. It includes extensive hardstand areas, ambient and temperature-controlled warehousing and office space. In July 2014 the building was extended by 12,325 sq m. The extension has an agreed 20-year lease until 2034 in place with Coles.
"There is a real mood of optimism in property and this deal is one of a number of significant real estate transactions currently in the market," Mr Steele said.
