Charter Hall has acquired three parcels of convenience retail properties for a total of AS$216.7m (€132m) in South Australia and Queensland for its Charter Hall Convenience Retail Fund (CCRF).

The latest additions include Churchill Centre South, a large-format retail precinct in metropolitan Adelaide, which occupies a prominent 5.4ha site within Adelaide’s established Churchill Road retail corridor.

The Queensland portfolio was acquired from Consolidated Properties Group (CPG) and CVS Lane Partners.
