Fierce competition among private investors for Bunnings warehouses has delivered a big boost to the value of BWP Trust’s portfolio, even as the ASX-listed landlord locks in innovative lease deals with new tenants including a film studio and a vaccination hub.

Over the 12 months to the end of June, BWP booked a $149 million valuation gain across its portfolio of 74 large-format retail properties (now worth $2.7 billion) as cap rates – or yields – tightened 43 basis points to 5.65 per cent.
