CSR last November announced a deal to sell its Viridian Glass business to Crescent Capital Partners for about $155 million.
That transaction included the Viridian property site at Dandenong, Victoria, but at the time CSR kept the property at Ingleburn and entered a long-term lease with Viridian over it.
The property is close to the Moorebank Intermodal Terminal and benefits from its access to the Hume Motorway and South Western Freeway.
It includes about 22,000sqm of surplus land fronting Williamson Rd.
CBRE’s Jason Edge and Chris O’Brien negotiated the sale.
Edge says the property was an “outstanding opportunity to acquire an iconic asset in the tightly held Sydney industrial and logistics market”.
O’Brien says the location was fundamental to the deal.
He says institutions want assets with a strong connection to the city’s improving infrastructure.
