Acquisition of an office building in Melbourne, Australia

NTT Urban Development Corporation (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo and Chief Executive Officer: Hiroshi Nakagawa) today announced that it has acquired a 100% freehold equity interest in a commercial office building at “200 Victoria Street Melbourne ” through its Australian subsidiary, UD Australia Pty Ltd.

The property is located at the northern edge of the Melbourne CBD, is conveniently located in terms of transportation, with a tram stop nearby and a new metro State Library Station under construction within a few minutes walking distance. The building enjoys a 6 Star Green Star NABERS rating, and is one of the highest ranked sustainable buildings in Melbourne.

The northern precinct of the Melbourne CBD is designated as a special innovation zone called the Melbourne Innovation District, which is planned to grow as an innovative hub for medical and educational institutions and relative start-up businesses, and we expect the building should attract tenants within those sectors.
