Charter Hall Group has announced that its unlisted wholesale partnership, Brisbane Square Wholesale Fund, has entered into an exclusive heads of agreement with Q Super to pre-lease Charter Hall’s proposed Brisbane Square Tower 2.
Charter Hall said the tower was a proposed new office building in Brisbane’s CBD’s Norther Quarter Precinct, and would increase the firm’s total investments in Queensland to over $3 billion.
The project is forecast for completion in the second half of 2020 and will accommodate a consolidation of Q Super’s four existing office facilities in Brisbane.
Charter Hall chief executive and managing director, David Harrison, said: “This unique gateway site will provide Q Super with iconic office solution providing their people and members with a great workspace experience”.
“The delivery of what will be a premium addition to the Brisbane CBD skyline will showcase Q Super and a revitalised Brisbane CBD,” he said.
“The project will increase our total investments in Queensland beyond $3 billion.”
While not having a strategic asset allocation might be ‘uncomfortable’ for some investors, the Future Fund believes its unique investment approach helps the fund capture long-term value ahead of the curve.
The sovereign wealth fund grew $11.5 billion in the March quarter, according to its latest portfolio update, having previously voiced caution about inflation’s downward trajectory.
The property group, owned by industry super fund Aware Super, has announced two new projects with a total construction value of $320 million that will add more than 700 homes to Melbourne’s rental market.
While institutional investors, including super funds, unanimously acknowledge the energy transition as a significant challenge, their perspectives on the extent of their involvement in addressing the substantial capital requirements vary widely.
