Carl Molony commented,

“Cavill Lane offers significant income growth potential, with annual rent reviews ranging from 3.00% to 4.00%. The asset benefits from strong investment fundamentals, including a long WALE of 5.6 years* by area, underpinned by 10 new leasing deals commencing from 2024 with an average lease term of 8 years. No single tenancy represents more than 12%* of the gross income, providing outstanding risk diversification.”

“The property’s 113 underground car spaces included on title are particularly valuable and rare for this location, with a current estimated replacement value exceeding $149,000* per space. Additionally, Cavill Lane features scope to add-value through lease repositioning as well as potential strata subdivision, subject to Council approval, providing future investment flexibility.”

Cavill Lane serves a growing population within a 20-minute drive time, currently at 330,000 people, and projected to reach 421,000 by 2041, with a growth rate of 1.4% per annum2. This is driven by significant high-rise residential and hotel developments in the area.

The Gold Coast, with Surfers Paradise at its heart, continues to be a key focus for domestic and international investors, underpinned by strong economic growth.
