ARG - Leasing and Development Update

Tuesday 11th February 2025

Argosy Property Limited (‘Argosy’ or ‘the Company’) has announced an update with respect to its property portfolio, including two new quality tenants.

224 Neilson Street

Argosy has successfully secured a 12-year lease agreement with national business, Bascik Transport, for 6,557 sqm, to commence in mid-April. The annual rental is $1.77 million (face rate $245psm). Rent reviews are fixed, with a mid-term market review with a cap and collar of 15%. The building is on track to achieve the targeted 6 Green Star Built rating and will feature 945kW Photo-Voltaic arrays (solar power), enabling full site operation and truck charging.

Additionally, the large warehouse at 224A Neilson Street, comprising 15,300 sqm of NLA, is on track for completion in August this year, with strong current leasing enquiry.

Mt Richmond

The first building at Mt Richmond has been committed with a new 10-year lease agreement with the global healthcare company Viatris Ltd (with lease commencement in the first quarter of 2026). This building includes 6,633 sqm of NLA and is also targeting a 6 Green Star Built rating. The annual rent is $1.88 million (face rate $245psm), with fixed rent increases and a mid-term market review with a cap and collar of 15%. Carr & Haslam, the current tenant, will continue to lease the remaining half of the site.

The business park has strong metrics, including an IRR of 9.4%, a yield on cost of 6.2% and a development margin of 18.7%.

Peter Mence said “It’s a pleasure to welcome such high quality tenants to the Argosy portfolio. This is an excellent outcome, reflecting positive market sentiment at the start of the year. This achievement underscores Argosy's strong market position and the growing demand for high-quality, sustainable office/warehouse space. With both Bascik Transport and Viatris focused on sustainability in their respective businesses, there is an excellent fit with Argosy’s focus on sustainable buildings.”
