“The sale of Cairns Central is a strong result for APPF Retail investors, particularly in light of market conditions experienced throughout 2023. With the strategic divestment of this asset, APPF Retail will be able to close out the remaining redemption requests in the Fund, providing liquidity to those investors who requested it,” said Anne MacSporran, Fund Manager APPF Retail, Lendlease.

The property was sought after by prospective buyers due to its location, high-quality retail mix, and strong growth forecasts.
