Australian fund manager HomeCo has acquired six retail assets for A$222m (鈧�138m).
HomeCo鈥檚 Daily Needs (HDN) REIT bought the assets located in Victoria, NSW and Queensland, leased to national retailers.
The acquisition is to be part-funded by an A$88m fully-underwritten institutional placement.
HDN fund portfolio manager, Paul Doherty, said the acquired properties offer highly defensive and growing income streams via 鈥渓ong-term leases to major national tenants, high occupancy and embedded rental growth through fixed annual rental reviews of 3.3%鈥�.
All of the properties offered future development potential given their low site coverage, he added.
The latest acquisition lifts the value of HDN鈥檚 portfolio to A$1.8bn, with the bulk of assets located in Victoria and NSW.
