Cbus Super's investment in the Jandakot joint venture and the final settlement of the remaining Jandakot interest are expected to occur in March 2022 following the receipt of required regulatory approvals. Following final settlement, the circa $1.3 billion Jandakot joint venture will be held in the following proportions: Dexus 33.4%; Dexus Industria REIT (DXI) 33.3% and Cbus Super 33.3%.

Dexus CEO, Darren Steinberg said: "We secured the large-scale high quality Jandakot portfolio off-market in a highly competitive environment for industrial assets, demonstrating the benefit that our platform brings to our funds management clients. We are pleased to be able to secure additional third party capital for this opportunity, aligning with our focus to grow our funds management business."
