Centuria Industrial REIT reported on October 15, 2026, that it had agreed lease terms covering 24,929 square meters across seven deals in the first quarter of fiscal 2027. The update also reaffirmed the trust's funds-from-operations and distribution guidance for the year.

Leasing spreads widen

Year-to-date re-leasing spreads averaged 31 percent against previous passing rents. Centuria said its portfolio was about 17 percent under-rented on average, while about 55 percent of leases expiring over the next three years were currently below market rents. That gap offers potential for rental growth as leases are renewed, although the outcome depends on future leasing activity.

Asset sale cuts vacancy risk

Centuria exchanged contracts to sell 22 Hawkins Crescent in Bundamba, Queensland, for AUD 34.25 million, in line with the property's most recent book value. Settlement is expected in December 2026. The buyer is an owner-occupier, reducing the risk of an extended vacancy for the roughly 19,000-square-meter asset.

The company said the transaction supports its focus on smaller-box industrial properties in established, supply-constrained locations. It also continues to assess data-centre conversions and has identified a power pipeline exceeding 250 megawatts. The company expects most data-centre opportunities to materialize from fiscal 2028 onward.

Guidance stays unchanged

Centuria reaffirmed FY27 funds-from-operations guidance of 18.8 to 19.2 cents per unit, described as up to 5.5 percent above FY26. Distribution guidance remains 17.3 cents per unit, 3 percent above FY26, with payments expected quarterly. The operating update was published by Centuria Industrial REIT.
