St Laurence's lastest offer fully subscribed
St Laurence group’s latest direct property investment offer, the Wakefield Street Proportionate Ownership Scheme, has closed fully subscribed.
The property is located in the expanding Courtenay Place precinct. It will become the group’s head office early in the New Year.
"The high level of demand from investors for the offer reflected the quality of the property, the tax depreciation advantages of this type of investment structure and the attractive yield. While this is the eighth such offering from St Laurence it is the only the second we have taken to the market this year. Finding quality properties with attractive yields is challenging in the current climate," St Laurence’s Managing Director Kevin Podmore says.
St Laurence is actively seeking properties within the $3m to $10m bracket and it is expecting to have two or three similar offers out in 2006.
