The portfolio was valued at $6.1 million at 30 June 1971 and consisted of Penrith Plaza shopping centre (still
50 per cent owned by GPT today and now named Westfield Penrith) and residential apartments in the Sydney suburbs of Gladesville and Homebush.
While the diversity and composition of our property portfolio has changed over the years, the foundations have remained the same - to deliver growing and predictable returns for investors of all sizes and to do so in a way that creates value for all stakeholders.
As Australia's first real estate investment trust (A-REIT),units in The General Property Trust first traded on the Sydney Stock Exchanges on 28 April, 1971. The Trust's 6 million units were held by approximately 2,300 unitholders and provided everyday 'mum and dad' investors with the opportunity to invest in commercial property and share in its consistent returns.
We embrace our diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives, working together for the best outcome.
Value Differences, Play as a Team
A proud history and an exciting future
We focus on the present and the future to deliver consistent, dependable performance.
