Western Australia’s leading apartment development company, Finbar Group Limited (ASX:
FRI) (Finbar or the Company), is pleased to announce that the development facility for its
landmark Garden Towers project in East Perth has been fully repaid following the
commencement of settlements.
Settlements completed to date represent approximately 86% of all contracted apartments,
representing approximately $170.5 million in sales. The repayment of the development
facility means the remaining completed stock is now debt-free.
Further proceeds from settlements of contracted apartments and the sale of remaining stock
will progressively return capital to Finbar and its joint venture partner, Ventrade Australia Pty
Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Chuan Hup Holdings Limited. Garden Towers is a 50%
joint venture between Finbar and Ventrade Australia Pty Ltd.
Settlements and associated revenue recognition are expected to contribute positively to the
Company’s financial performance in H1 FY27.
The remaining unsold apartments represent approximately 18% of all apartments within
Garden Towers and will continue to be sold down progressively. Recent sales activity
provides further evidence of ongoing buyer demand, with Finbar well positioned to manage
the progressive sell-down with appropriate pricing discipline, while continuing to realise
capital from the project.
Valued at approximately $296.9 million, Garden Towers is Finbar’s largest development by
number of lots in its more than 30-year history, with 329 residential apartments and 13
ground-floor commercial lots.
Located opposite Queens Gardens, the development has transformed a prominent East
Perth site into a landmark residential community within easy reach of the Perth CBD, Swan
River and the revitalised WACA precinct.
The heritage-listed former Materials Science Building has been retained within the ground-
floor development and is proposed to be reconfigured into five separate lots, providing
flexibility for future small office/home office (SOHO) and commercial uses.
In October, Finbar marked the official Grand Opening of Garden Towers at an event
attended by purchasers, project partners, stakeholders and special guests. Lord Mayor of
Perth Bruce Reynolds acknowledged the significance of the development for East Perth and
the broader Perth apartment market. The Hon John Carey MLA, Minister for Planning and
Lands; Housing and Works; and Health Infrastructure, also toured the development and
recognised the important role quality apartment developments can play in shaping Perth’s
future.
Finbar Chief Executive Officer, Mr Ronald Chan, said:
“The full repayment of the Garden Towers development facility is a significant financial
milestone and reflects the strong progress achieved since settlements commenced.
“With the remaining completed stock now debt-free, proceeds from further settlements and
sales will progressively return capital to Finbar and our joint venture partner.
“The official opening of Garden Towers was also an opportunity to celebrate the vision,
partnership and commitment behind the project, and to welcome purchasers to a new
residential community in East Perth.
“Our residential products reflect our focus on quality and affordability, and are well positioned
in the current market conditions. We continue to see strong buyer demand across our
portfolio, including from repeat customers, with FY27 expected to be an active year across
settlements, construction and new project launches.”
