Modernisation and upgrades at 100 Creek Street, Brisbane

 

Although the thought of warmth might not be appealing right now, given the recent scorching temperatures in Brisbane, we are pleased to announce the completion of our heating upgrade at 100 Creek Street. Tenants can look forward to a cozy and comfortable environment this winter.

This upgrade follows our recent lift modernisation at 100 Creek Street. The new motors offer impressive energy savings of 55% compared to the older ones and regenerate 35% of the power used, feeding it back into the building grid. This initiative not only provides significant environmental benefits but also helps reduce energy costs, which is especially important with rising energy prices.

 

 

PCA Committee appointments

 

Cromwell is pleased to announce our ongoing, active participation in the Property Council of Australia Committees for 2025/26.

We are committed to championing strong advocacy for the property industry, driving positive change, and fostering growth. Together, we will address key challenges and seize opportunities to shape a vibrant and resilient future for the sector.

 

Cromwell Phoenix Global Opportunities Fund webinar

 

As the Cromwell Phoenix Global Opportunities Fund celebrated its five-year anniversary, Cromwell Funds Management and the fund’s Investment Manager Phoenix Portfolios recently hosted a webinar to provide insights into the fund’s journey and performance.

During the session, Portfolio Manager Jordan Lipson discussed the fund’s investment strategy, market opportunities, and outlook. By focusing on small, often overlooked global equities, the fund has delivered an annualised return of 13.5%1, outperforming market benchmarks through expert insights and strategic investments across diverse global sectors.  Thank you to everyone who attended the webinar.
