Secure Income is Key in New East Perth Investment
M/Group’s propensity to identify and secure extraordinarily stable income producing property investment opportunities continues with its latest investment fund release for a high-profile commercial property in East Perth.
The company is seeking to raise $5.8 million for the well-located office building at 130 Royal Street.
The property is fully occupied by longstanding tenants from a diverse range of industries and is centrally located close to the CBD, transport, main roads, restaurants, cafes and retail outlets. It is also in close proximity to Optus Stadium, Crown Casino Perth and the Matagarup Bridge that connects East Perth to Burswood Peninsular. Importantly all tenants have renewed (or are in the process of renewing) their leases in the last 2 years.
The investment fund is targeting an 8.5% per annum return on investment paid monthly and with a WALE (Weighted Average Lease Expiry) of over four years.
M/Group Managing Director, Mr Lloyd Clark, said the property was again secured by M/Group in an off market negotiation and is based on an investment framework that has been highly successful with the company’s other funds.
“M/Group’s is so proud of its ability to attract reoccurring investment and oversubscribing on funds. It is testament to our strategy and the standard of investment opportunities we continue to deliver,” he said.
“This latest fund release is underpinned by strong investment fundamentals. It’s location and strong tenancy leaves little risk in achieving positive returns. We have no doubt the opportunity will be welcomed by our network of investors.”
The Royal Street property sits on a land area of 751sqm, where the building itself comprises a total net lettable area of 1,857 sqm with typical floor plates of 585 sqm. It offers 27 secure undercover car parking bays and has an environmental rating of 4-star NABERS and is BEEC certified.
M/Group Director of Asset Management, Mr James Collis, believes demand for this class of investment opportunity is high, especially with bank interest rates being at an all time low.
“Given the lack of return being paid by banks, investors are seeking secure investments that can provide a high yield and paid regularly.
“M/Group works to a proven strategy and packages its opportunities for minimal risk and maximum returns. We have demonstrated exceptional capacity to deliver on this criterion, and our track record speaks for itself.”
The investment period for 130 Royal Street, East Perth will span over seven years with a minimal investment requirement of $50,000.

Titles Arrive for Large Lot Wellard Estate
Titles have been issued for the first tranche of oversized homesites located at the new-concept boutique estate, The Wedge. The event signals the completion of Stage 1, which already has some 30% of available land sold.
The Wedge is located on one of the last development sites within the sought-after Wellard North community. Homesites have been designed in response to a recognised family preference for larger land, with lot sizes ranging between 350sq.m and 475sq.m
Developer Mr John Wroth, Director of Monument parent company M/Group, said he is looking forward to heightened activity within the estate now that the land is ‘build-ready’. He said, being A-Class titled land with no bushfire conditions, owners will have the flexibility to select from a broad range of home styles and designs.
“There is no question that we successfully acquired a very special piece of land to work with at The Wedge. True to its name, the site is ‘wedged’ within one of the most sought after areas in the region. It is surrounded by the stunning Bulrush Nature Reserve, which is protected land that will continue to provide a natural shelter and lush green backdrop,” he said.
“Once in the estate, however, we are beginning to see a glimpse of the character and lifestyle features planned for the site. This includes large lot sizes based on market feedback, children’s playground and pump-track, walkways and ample public space. Together with the proximity to impressive community amenity, there is little wonder that the initial land release attracted so much momentum.”
The Wedge is located between the freeway and the ocean and is close to public transport, medical facilities, schools, shopping and just 30 minutes to Perth CBD.
It is being developed to a company philosophy that seeks to introduce a sense of distinction and character to an environment through considered design and special features. Such an approach is in keeping with the broader M/Group values and has already been highly successful at sister developments in Secret Harbour and Beeliar.
“As soon as you approach the entry statement at The Wedge, it is quite obvious that this is not a typical land estate,” Mr Wroth continued.
“We look beyond the standard ‘cookie-cutter’ environment to create a new style of estate that really sets it apart from the rest. This approach has now been successful across three consecutive estates and we are thrilled the market is responding positively.”
The Wedge is located on Bertram Road, Wellard North and Stage 1 homesites start from $174,000.

Safe and Stylish in the City
As a school teacher and single woman, Debbie Bruce was looking for a safe and centrally located home with everything she loved close by. She found this and more in a one-bedroom apartment at M/25 by Match in Mount Lawley.
M/25 by Match is located on the corner of Walcott and Burt Streets in Mount Lawley. It is a boutique mixed-use apartment building with only 30 residences, designed to integrate seamlessly into the culture of its Mount Lawley environment.
It is this culture that had been a major drawcard for Debbie when considering her purchase.
“Everything is close by and the area makes me feel like I’m travelling round the UK, with little streets, old houses, history, culture and community,” she said.
“A typical weekend generally includes heading out somewhere close for a nice walk, and meeting a friend for breakfast or coffee. My gym is two-seconds away and Fresh Provisions stays open until 10pm at night.
“The biggest thing for me is that I can do whatever I want, whenever I want to – even when I work long hours, I feel safe.”
As a single woman, Debbie wanted to live independently but didn’t want to worry about people jumping fences.
Mr Lloyd Clark, Managing Director of Match parent company M/Group, said safety is often one of the most important factors for people looking to tap into the apartment lifestyle.
“The global shift in people choosing apartment living over a half acre block on the outskirts of town is well documented. However, their motivations can vary,” he said.
“Safety is definitely extremely important, particularly for families and young single people like Debbie. However, others are enticed by the low maintenance aspects, lock up and leave qualities and surrounding amenity.”
Match has been instrumental in leading a philosophical change in Perth that has evolved apartment architecture from bland ‘cookie cutter’ environments to well-considered designs that integrate into the surroundings and enhance the occupant’s lifestyle.
M/25 by Match was architecturally designed by award-winning architect Cameron Chisholm Nicol and features a distinctive mural artwork by renowned artist, Kyle Hughes-Odgers.
“I love that (M/25 by Match) doesn’t feel like the apartment has been done on the cheap. I have high ceilings, skylight, splash back. I think a lot of apartments can feel closed-in and I like that this is so open and bright and airy,” Debbie continued.
“When I sit out on the balcony I can see the skyline and fireworks when they’re on. And because I purchased when the building was complete, it was mine quite quickly.
“It’s great that I could go into a place that felt nice and I could afford it.”
‘Move-in-ready’ apartments at M/25 by Match start from $349,000 for one-bedroom apartments and $465,000 for two-bedroom apartments.
