The Board believes that the Property "presents a prime investment opportunity and has potential to be a stable source of rental income for the Group."
Colliers International's website said: "The property currently offers multiple income streams from 28 tenants, returning $4,658,044 plus GST in net annual rent.
"The comparatively short weighted average lease term provides an opportunity to reposition the property and add value through refurbishment or repositioning."
(18 Dec 2018 update: Roxy-Pacific did not proceed with the purchase. See here).
