Arena REIT Business Description

Industry Real EstateREITs
Address 8 Exhibition Street, Level 32, Melbourne, VIC, AUS, 3000
Arena REIT is an internally managed Australian property trust. The REIT specializes in leasing social infrastructure properties, with close to 300 childcare centers and about a dozen healthcare facilities in its portfolio. Typically, tenants enter into long-term leases with inflation-linked or fixed rental escalations every year. All leases are "triple net," meaning tenants pay for all statutory and operating outgoings and costs, such as land tax, insurance, electricity, and maintenance. The tenant profile is concentrated—almost three quarters of rents are generated from the top five tenants. Arena actively grows its property book through acquisitions and developments, and historically added on average 10 sites, net of divestments, per year.
