Ashfield Mall and adjacent properties

• Liverpool Road, Ashfield NSW
Ashfield Mall is a sub-regional shopping centre located 10 kilometres south-east of the Sydney CBD, close to the railway station and bus interchange. The fully enclosed four level building has four anchor tenants and over 80 specialty shops with 650 undercover car spaces and more than 400 rooftop spaces.
Over the past two years, Abacus has undertaken a major refurbishment of the Mall and signed 20 year leases with Woolworths and Coles, resulting in a 7.8% increase in MAT in the 12 months to the end of December and a greater level of enquiry from national specialty retailers. The Mall is currently being repositioned to accommodate that enquiry with progressive refurbishment of shopfronts as new leases are signed.
Four adjacent retail properties are also owned by Abacus and provide scope for expansion of the Mall, greater exposure to Liverpool Road and additional parking. A development application seeking additional NLA of 2,700 m2, 150 residential and serviced apartments, 335 parking spaces and a childcare facility is currently with planning authorities.

Liverpool Plaza is a neighbourhood shopping centre occupying a prime location on the Macquarie pedestrian mall in the Liverpool CBD, approximately 34 kilometres south-west of the Sydney CBD. The fully enclosed centre comprises ground floor retail, mezzanine level offices and an open rooftop car park.

Abacus is currently preparing a development application for expansion of the Plaza, to be lodged in late 2008.

Virginia Park is a business park on a 12.28 hectare site in a predominantly residential location, approximately 13 kilometres south-east of the Melbourne CBD. The property provides a mix of industrial and office buildings as well as supporting facilities including a gymnasium, swim centre, child care centre, café and recreational facilities.
This massive, well-located property provides potential for further development through new construction on existing hardstand areas currently used for parking, expansion of existing buildings and redevelopment of existing older buildings at the rear of the site.
Abacus holds a 50% interest in this property through a joint venture with the Gillon Group.
