RealEstat.id (Jakarta) – One Global Capital has announced the distribution of its maiden dividend to investors—just one year after acquiring Eastlakes Shopping Centre.
The achievement marks a significant milestone, underscoring the success of the value-creation and asset management strategy implemented by the company founded by Iwan Sunito.
Acquired in late 2024 for AUD19.5 million, the asset is now known as One Global Gallery – Eastlakes. Within a 12-month period, the shopping centre has undergone a major operational turnaround and leasing strategy transformation.
All retail units are now fully occupied, driving the asset’s valuation to approximately AUD33 million, based on an independent valuation report issued by Savills Sydney in October 2025.

“This result clearly runs counter to the prevailing narrative of a declining retail sector,” said Iwan Sunito, Chairman and Group CEO of One Global Capital.
He explained that the company focuses on retail fundamentals that cannot be replaced by trends or e-commerce—namely convenience, accessibility, and daily-needs retail.
“These are the fundamentals that have proven to be the most resilient and sustainable,” he emphasized.
For the 2025 financial year, One Global Capital distributed dividends totaling AUD1.8 million. This represents an approximate 18.5% cash yield on invested equity, while shareholders continue to retain full ownership of the asset.
For overseas investors, particularly from the regional market, performance was further enhanced by the strengthening of the Australian Dollar (AUD) during the period.

The combination of cash dividends and foreign exchange gains generated a total blended return of approximately 28.5% on equity invested.
“This demonstrates not only solid asset performance, but also the advantages of investing in a market with a strong and stable currency,” Sunito added.
He further noted that Australia—an economy valued at around USD1 trillion with a population of approximately 25 million—offers high per capita purchasing power, stable consumption patterns, and a resilient retail sector as part of its domestic market fundamentals.
One Global Gallery – Eastlakes reflects One Global Capital’s next-generation neighbourhood retail strategy, centered on daily-needs retail embedded within local communities and relatively immune to digital disruption.

The shopping centre features a 1,600-square-meter ALDI anchor tenant—one of the largest in its category—alongside Woolworths as another major tenant.
Woolworths has delivered exceptional performance, with monthly turnover surging from approximately AUD150,000 to more than AUD520,000 since the acquisition.
In addition, all other tenants at the premium retail centre have also recorded healthy and stable growth.
“We implemented disciplined programs and asset management structures. However, what truly surprised us was the overwhelming support from the local community since we took over One Global Gallery – Eastlakes—which has become the core foundation of the asset’s long-term sustainability,” Sunito explained.

“Targets that were initially projected over a five-year period were achieved far sooner—within just one year. This speaks volumes about the quality of asset management and strategy at One Global Capital,” she noted.
An Indonesian investor, who requested anonymity, shared a similar sentiment, expressing satisfaction that returns were realized much faster than expected.
“From the beginning, I was confident that Mr. Iwan Sunito would deliver results. That is why we have instructed that the proceeds be immediately reinvested into a new project that will be launched soon,” the investor said.
According to Iwan Sunito, these statements reflect a high level of trust among global investors, as well as strong interest in reinvestment and long-term partnerships within the One Global Capital platform.

Looking ahead, One Global Capital projects continued value growth, driven by increasing rental income through the activation of new spaces and rental adjustments, potential interest rate cuts that could compress yields and boost asset valuations, and rising demand for community-based retail that is relatively resilient to digital disruption.
“The dividend we distributed this Christmas is just the beginning,” he stated. “Investors have received strong cash returns, retained full equity ownership, and continue to enjoy full exposure to future asset value growth.”
“We are optimistic that 2026 and beyond will bring even better and greater news for our investors,” Sunito concluded.
