Charter Hall Long Wale REIT is a diversified property trust with assets in Australia and New Zealand. Occupancy is near 100%, and weighted average lease length is a long 10.8 years (as at Dec. 31, 2023). More than half the REIT’s leases are triple-net, where tenants pay rates, maintenance and most outgoings. The REIT’s about AUD 6.5 billion portfolio of 546 properties spans offices, industrial, retail, social infrastructure, and agricultural logistics assets, with about 78% of the portfolio on Australia’s eastern seaboard. Leases are evenly spread between CPI-linked (5.4% average rent increase expected in fiscal 2024) and fixed uplifts (average 3.1% uplift expected). The tenant profile is strong, with almost all occupiers being government, multinational, or national businesses.
