Sydney Commercial Real estate turning into an exclusive princely state
The first three months of the current fiscal year saw a rise of 50 percent in the effective rental
rates. In spite of a huge supply of the office space the vacancy rates in the area are on the
lower side (Williams, 2018). There is a lack of supply for commecrial office rentals in the area.
Apart from these direct indicators, certain indirect indicators are also supporting a rise in the
demand as well as the profits associated with the office real sectors. For instance, the
increasing number of white-collar employees has touched the levels of two lakh employees
per annum. Another factor is connected with the offshore stakeholders in the market. During
the previous year, 51 percent of the transactions in this area were connected to the offshore
investors (Cheung, 2011).

A lack in supply and an increase in the demand makes it a promising market for the inevstors because
investors from the Asian markets are also showing a keen interest in the properties of this area. Considering
the same facts we are also presenting a property that can interest you.
Strategically located near the China Town and CBD the total worth of this property can be estimated at
around $25 million. It can become a jewel in your asset portfolio with an estimated incurring income of
$1,120,000 per annum. The DCF analysis results show a positive NPV of $ 319 and IRR. Factors like Customer
focus, development of the area as an IT hub and a projection for the yield improvement are always on the
cards to increase the valuation of this property in the near future.
