Charter Hall Retail REIT
Charter Hall Retail REIT, or CQR, owns and manages a portfolio of convenience focused retail properties, including neighbourhood and subregional shopping centres, service stations, and some retail logistics properties. The REIT is managed by Charter Hall, a listed, diversified fund manager and developer, which owns a minority stake in CQR, and frequently partners with it on acquisitions and developments. More than half of rental income comes from major tenants Woolworths, Coles, Wesfarmers, Aldi and BP (the latter occupies service station assets). The portfolio is more seasoned than some convenience rivals, with approximately two thirds of supermarket tenants at or near thresholds for paying turnover-linked rent.
