How we did it
Site Challenges:
Site was not being utilised to highest and best use across its GLA of 2,000m2.
Existing tenant could not afford the rent and did not require the entire building
Low square metre rate due to business type not able to sustain across large building footprint, compressing the annual rent due to a total rent cap out
Existing business did not have longevity or pose future upside to the owners
Landlord and Tenant Legal Dispute ongoing
Greyfield Solution?
Split the building GLA into 2 separate tenancies as opposed to the previous single tenant layout to maximise square metre rate and attract more favourable national tenants
Sourced international, Blue Chip Recreation & Entertainment tenant to take 50% of the space
Secured 20 year lease
The first lease of half the building covered 80% of the previous total net rent
Resolved and liaised between landlord and tenant to recover long outstanding arrears of $50,000
Negotiated for existing tenant to relocate
Leased the remaining half of the building to Blue Chip International Tier 1 Gym Tenant for $210,000
More than doubled the value by exercising creativity
Sharper cap rate moving forward for client due to significant improvement of lease covenants
