The Sydney financing is reported to be the third facility Barings' debt platform has provided for Novus, with lending exceeding A$250 million. It extends a lender-developer relationship that already includes construction financing for Novus on Spencer in West Melbourne.
Strategic context
Barings previously announced financing for Novus on Spencer in West Melbourne, establishing a lending relationship beyond this Sydney transaction. Repeat facilities can give a developer continuity of funding across projects, although each remains exposed to its own construction and leasing programme. The Sydney loan extends that relationship into a second city.
