Savills list 60 Margaret Street, Sydney stake

PAG, the Hong Kong investment management firm has put its half stake in Sydney’s sixth-largest ­office tower, 60 Margaret Street, up for sale.

It includes the MetCentre at the foot of the building.

It has ING ­Direct as a major tenant.

The retail centre is anchored by a street-level Woolworths supermarket and Virgin Active along with 75 specialty stores within the 6419sq m retail centre.

The entire building value is estimated at more than $800 million, according to The Australian.

PAG’s listing comes as Sydney’s office property boom hits new highs, with ISPT completing a deal to buy a half-stake in Sydney landmark Westpac Place in a deal valuing that tower at more than $1.7 billion.

The Australian reported the Westpac Place deal helped reset pricing metrics for Sydney towers as it showed a yield of about 4.5 per cent.

PAG bought its 60 Margaret Street stake in 2015 from industry superannuation fund MTAA Super for just over $300 million.
