September 2018 sales performance Our September 2018 performance reinforces this strategy. During the quarter, and adjusting for the sale of the 11 non-core centres, specialty store moving annual turnover (or MAT) per square metre increased 3.9% to slightly over $10,500. Sales growth for the total portfolio for the 12 months to September 2018 was 1.9%, up from 1.2% at June
- 2018. For the specialty store and mini major categories combined, shown in blue on the chart here, growth
was 2.1% for the current period, compared to 1.6% growth in the three months to June. Dissecting this further, for our destination portfolio of 50 assets, these growth figures improved to 2.6% in September, up from 2.2% in June. Pleasingly, services, leisure and food catering continued to show strong growth, categories to which we continue to re-weight the portfolio. Completed development - Mandurah Forum, WA In March, we completed a major redevelopment of Mandurah Forum, south of Perth in WA. This asset has been transformed into a modern regional centre, with a new format David Jones, and an upgraded Kmart, and includes the addition of high profile retailers such as H&M and Mecca. The asset is well-positioned to take advantage of the signs of recovery we are now seeing in the WA economy. Completed development - DFO Perth, WA Also in WA, last month we added another asset to our highly successful outlet centre portfolio, with the
- pening of Perth’s first DFO.
All 113 retailers were open on day one, with many exceeding their initial month’s sales target within the first fortnight. In total, more than 240,000 people have visited Perth DFO in the first three weeks. The project is on track to deliver a stabilised development yield of over 11%, and a total return of over 16%. Current development - The Glen, VIC Moving to Melbourne, and last week we opened stage three of our major redevelopment of The Glen, comprising international fashion retailers such as H&M and UNIQLO, together with more than 80 specialty
- retailers. More than 120,000 customers visited the centre in the four days following the opening.
The next stage will include a new-format David Jones, and a high-quality entertainment and leisure precinct, opening in late 2019. The retail project remains on track to complete by 2020, while residential developer Golden Age will build more than 500 apartments on site by 2021. Current development - Chadstone Hotel, VIC The evolution of Chadstone, Australia’s number one retail asset, continues, with construction work for the new on-site hotel tracking to schedule. This 250-room ‘MGallery by Sofitel’ will help drive sales at Chadstone, with significant ‘shopping tourism’ expected from Asia, together with business and conference guests attracted to the nearby Monash health and education precinct.
