AMP Capital Acquires Stake in Brookfield’s Wynyard Place Development

Screen-Shot-2017-10-03-at-10

AMP Capital’s Wholesale Office Fund (AWOF) have acquired a 25 per cent interest in Brookfield’s $1.9 billion Wynyard Place urban renewal development in Sydney.

AMP Capital’s client UniSuper have also taken on a quarter share in the flagship project.

“I’m pleased we have been able to secure a stake in this premiere Sydney development," AMP Capital global head of real estate Carmel Hourigan said.

"This is a landmark deal for AMP Capital and it is testament to our ability to find and deliver significant investments for our clients that meet their objectives.”

Developed by Brookfield, Wynyard Place is set to become a significant mixed-use precinct bounded by George Street, Margaret Street and Carrington Street at Wynyard in Sydney’s central business district.

Wynyard Place’s centrepiece will be a 67,000 square metre, 27-storey premium grade commercial tower, which was 45 per cent pre-committed by NAB. The development will also include restoration of the historic Shell House and 285 George Street.

Around 3,500 square metres of high-end retail will also be created together with a revitalised Wynyard Lane and a major upgrade to Wynyard Station’s George Street entrance connecting to a grand transit hall and public concourse.

“We are delighted to be investing in this outstanding development, which is underpinned by a long lease to NAB," AWOF manager Nicholas McGrath said.

"NAB has been an important customer of ours at 255 George Street, Sydney, for more than 30 years and is also the sole occupier of AWOF’s 700 Bourke Street in Melbourne.

"We look forward to continuing our ongoing relationship with NAB at Wynyard Place.

“This acquisition is aligned with AWOF’s strategy of acquiring or developing next-generation, well-let prime office assets with best-in-class sustainability credentials.

"The Wynyard Place development complements perfectly AWOF’s $5 billion portfolio of prime commercial properties.”

The development has achieved a 6-star Green Star design v3 rating and is targeting a 6-star Green Star as built v3 rating, 5.5-star NABERs energy rating, 4-star NABERS water rating and a 4-star NABERS Indoor Environment rating.bbAMP Capital’s separate account client UniSuper has also committed to a 24.9 per cent interest in the completed development.
