Why we invest in retail real estate assets
Consistent population growth
Australia’s population is forecast to grow on average by 1.3% annually to 29 million by 2030*. This continued growth is anticipated to drive demand for accessible retail in strategic growth corridors and infill locations.
The centre of local communities
Physical shopping centres remain a central meeting place for communities to shop locally and socially engage, reinforcing the importance of bricks and mortar stores where the majority of retail sales take place.
Retail undersupply
Growth in retail supply is projected to be lower than long-term averages which may present opportunities for further income growth in the sector**.
Featured asset
