•
Proposed 240 apartment project, co-located with excellent existing urban amenities

Western Australia’s leading apartment development company, Finbar Group Limited (ASX:
FRI) (Finbar or the Company), is pleased to announce details of an acquisition of an
approximate 4,997sqm site located at 236 Railway Parade, West Leederville. The
acquisition by a wholly-owned Finbar entity is subject to obtaining a DA approval. Land
acquisition is anticipated to settle in FY2026.
The site, located within a precinct known as “Rosslyn Quarter”, has been identified as prime
development land that will be subject to the West Leederville Precinct Structure Plan, which
is in its final stages of being adopted by the Western Australian Planning Commission.
Located 2 kilometres from the Perth CBD, adjacent to high-frequency public transport, and in
close proximity to excellent urban amenity, the project is only 400 metres from Finbar’s
former successful Motive Apartments project, which was completed in 2017. Adjacent to the
West Leederville Shopping Centre, which contains a Coles supermarket plus a range of
commercial offerings, the local area is well known for its cafes, wine bars, bars and
restaurants, all in close proximity.
It is proposed that the Railway Parade property will be developed into approximately 240
residential apartments across two 18-storey towers with ground-floor commercial fronting
Railway Parade. This will result in a development with an estimated end value of
approximately $200 million, the profit of which is expected to contribute to Finbar’s earnings
in FY2029/FY2030.
Finbar CEO Ronald Chan said:
“We have previously enjoyed great success in developing in the West Leederville
area given its excellent existing amenity and close proximity to the CBD, Leederville,
Subiaco, and the West Leederville train station. We are very pleased to conclude a
purchase contract with the owner at a time when the planning framework is expected
to be imminently updated to support the delivery of a large-scale project.
The substantial scale of this site, with proposed potential for two eighteen-storey
towers, will allow the Company to obtain scale benefits which will underpin the
delivery of a medium-cost, well-located project. Finbar will commence its design work
immediately to ensure the proposed development achieves Finbar’s feasibility
benchmarks. Importantly, this acquisition diversifies and strengthens our long-term
development pipeline across metropolitan Perth, enabling us to time our product
delivery strategically in line with market conditions.”
