Business Strategy and Outlook
GPT’s strategy is to operate a diversified portfolio of high-quality property assets in Australia’s largest cities and to reshape exposure by taking advantage of structural tailwinds such as rising e-commerce and population growth. This is executed by divesting low-yielding assets, actively developing logistics sites, and replenishing landbanks. Today, the retail and office segments, including contributions from their respective funds management, each account for around 40% of the group’s funds from operations. Logistics contributes less than a quarter. In 2010, the retail/office/logistics split was about 60%/30%/10%. The gross lettable area of logistics sites has roughly doubled over the past decade, mostly on the eastern seaboard of Australia.
