Stride Property Limited (SPL) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an unconditional agreement to acquire an office building at 215 Lambton Quay, Wellington, known as Grant Thornton House, for a purchase price of $84.5 million. The initial passing yield on acquisition is 6.0%, and the property has a WALT of 3.4 years. Settlement is expected to occur on 30 November 2020.

The building comprises 10,934 sqm of lettable area and has a seismic rating of 100% of New Building Standard, making it an attractive location for tenants in the Wellington market.

This acquisition builds on SPL’s acquisition of 34 Shortland Street, Auckland, announced on 31 August 2020, and, following the settlement of Grant Thornton House, SPL’s office portfolio will increase to approximately 30% of SPL’s look-through holdings, including directly held investment properties and holdings in Stride’s investment management products.
