Deal: An undisclosed investment entity associated with Zone Q Investments (Zone Q) acquired Westralia Plaza from the Insurance Commission of Western Australia (ICWA).
Value: $87 million
Area: M&A
Key players: The team advising the investor associated with Zone Q was led by Allens partner Victoria Holthouse (pictured), with assistance from senior real estate counsel Karyn Thomson, lawyer Alexandra Lanyon and law graduate Rachel Giudicatti.
Deal significance: Westralia Plaza is a 13-storey CBD office building located in Perth and is the second in a suite of three premium office buildings ICWA has offered to the market.
