In 2019, PMG’s Direct Office Fund acquired 65B Main Highway as part of its strategy to invest in well-located office assets in key metropolitan areas, with opportunities to add value through proactive management and leasing initiatives.

The property offered strong fundamentals, including ample car parking and two long-term government tenants contributing over 80% of the rental income — providing both stability and diversification for the Fund.

While the building was well-presented, the granite-tiled façade presented a growing safety risk due to adhesive failure. PMG initially managed this through quarterly inspections and repairs, but worsening conditions prompted a full façade upgrade in 2023.
