Three final retail properties in Sydney CBD's Central Park has been sold for $174.5 million at a 5.5 percent yield. 

Frasers Property Australia and Sekisui House Australia, the joint venture partners behind the award-winning $2 billion Central Park, have sold the assets to a consortium comprising Fortius Funds Management and SC Capital Partners Group on behalf of its RECAP V Fund.

Central Park Retail comprises three freehold retail assets – Central Park Mall, DUO Retail and Park Lane Retail – with a total combined GLA of 14,600 sqm.

Central Park Mall, the largest of the three assets, opened in late 2013.

It is anchored by a high performing Woolworths supermarket and state-of-the-art Palace Central cinema complex.

It houses a diverse mix of entertainment, fashion and experiential retailers, complemented by an alfresco dining precinct.

The Central Park development transformed a former brewery site into a mixed-use precinct with retail, commercial, hotel, education, student accommodation and residential uses.
