Level 14, 80 Collins Street

Via email: Debbie.Moore@resolvexo.com.au

Dear Debbie,

BDO || Collins Square

Thank you for providing Walker with the opportunity to respond to the Request for Information for BDO’s commercial office requirement in Melbourne.

As current occupants of Collins Square, we have enjoyed a positive and collaborative (near) seven-year relationship with BDO. We understand that BDO is an organisation that prefers an activated and agile environment for its purpose-driven team, as well as requiring a building management team that is responsive, reliable and personable.

In the proposal to follow, we offer a compelling opportunity for BDO to remain within the Collins Square precinct whilst enjoying the benefits of new office accommodation that can be designed to suit their exacting needs. All of which will be delivered with the support of a committed and familiar management team who understand BDO’s business goals.

COLLINS SQUARE MEETS THE BRIEF

As an existing tenant within Collins Square, BDO will be familiar with the benefits of our world class commercial mixed-use precinct. A City Within a City, Collins Square is a place that seamlessly integrates commercial, retail and public spaces into a single energised precinct. Benefitting from high quality food and beverage offerings, service retail, health and wellness and access to a range of value-add services including concierge, onsite meeting room and training room facilities, event space, flex space and car parking, Collins Square is completely distinct from the traditional commercial office.

With respect to the BDO requirement, Collins Square provides the following benefits:

Check Within 100m of Tram, Train and Bus networks, including 3 minute walk to Southern Cross Station.

Check Melbourne CBD location, highly convenient with immediate access to major transit networks.

Check A-Grade buildings, with Premium services.

Check High-quality services and amenities including multiple gyms, onsite childcare, state-of-the-art End of Trip facilities, Business and Events Centre, Concierge team and 40+ retail precinct.

Check Access to Permanent Parking via the large onsite car park and Carpark on Demand offering, available for casual bookings, providing flexibility.

Check Industry-leading environmental credentials with 5 Star Green Star rating, 5.5 Star NABERS Energy and Water ratings and 6 Star NABERS Indoor Environment ratings.

Check Boost your Employee Value Proposition with year-round events, retail offers and prizes exclusive to tenants.

Check Building Signage opportunities can be explored.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are pleased to present the following unique workplace solution to BDO, for their consideration:

Premises

Levels 19 & 20, Tower 1, subject to final space planning.

Walker can provide contiguous floors to BDO to accommodate the current size range of 4,000 m2 to 5,500 m2. For the purpose of this response, we have nominated the above floors and would be pleased to discuss the final floor(s) upon BDO finalising their space planning.

Building Address Tower 1, Collins Square

727 Collins Street

Melbourne VIC 3008

Lettable Area L19: 2,346.5 m²

L20: 2,329.5 m²

Total: 4,676.0 m²

Availability

Walker can meet BDO’s timing requirement with a lease commencement date in December 2026.

Net Rent $735 per square metre

Outgoings (FY24) $158.62 per square metre

Tenancy Condition

The Premises will be delivered as a non-fitted, warm shell. Walker can assist with providing an indicative layout that accommodates BDO’s fitout requirements, and in doing so, deliver a brand-new fitout that maximises the design specifications. If an end-to-end solution is BDO’s preference, turnkey fitouts can be undertaken using Walker’s Guaranteed Maximum Price Fitout Model, which ensures no cost or delivery risk to the tenant.

Walker’s inhouse project management team offer this service at no additional cost.

Building Signage Tower 1 building signage can be provided to BDO at a commencing licence fee of $35,000 per annum, per sign.

Car Parking

THE WALKER WAY

Secure basement car parking is available and Walker would be pleased to review BDO’s specific requirements and deliver a suitable solution.

The Walker Way will be familiar to BDO. We are a values-led organisation and we take great pride in prioritising relationship, respect, collaboration and innovation.

Walker are one of Australia’s most respected private property developers. Our reputation is built on our experience, ability to design innovative solutions and deliver to our commitments. One of our favourite challenges is providing bespoke solutions to achieve outcomes for customers that exceed expectations. Our team takes pride in creating places where people want to be, with an unwavering commitment to awardwinning quality, sustainability and development excellence. Our in-house asset management team ensures our partnership continues long after fit-out completion, with a dedicated team committed to delivering exceptional customer experiences year-round.

Through regular engagement with the precinct community, our team take consistent pulse checks of occupant satisfaction, to ensure our service delivery exceeds expectations. The last major precinct survey in 2022 articulates the high engagement BDO staff have with the Collins Square precinct.

• When asked about their level of satisfaction with their office space at Collins Square, the average score (out of a rating of 1–10) was 9 for BDO staff.

• When asked about their level of satisfaction with the Collins Square precinct experience, the average score (out of a rating of 1–10) was 8 for BDO staff.

BDO staff feedback:

I thoroughly enjoy going to work at Collins Square. There is always somewhere suitable to go for lunch. Having a Woolworths and Pharmacy are great, no need to go elsewhere – Maree

I would say it's inviting, the office area is lovely and makes it pleasant to come into the office, great food outlets downstairs and very close to public transport – Karen

Feel the buzz! Always! Working here makes others jealous because there is just so much to do, feel the vibe and chill out whenever you need a break. So close to the train station too which is always a plus. I am proud to say that my office is inside the Collins Square, a destination that needs no address, cheeky line but true haha – Shrinidhi

We know that people make the place and enlivened places are made so by the concentration of people who choose to be there. This is fundamental component of our approach to customer engagement, and how we will continue to curate the precinct experience for BDO.

MOVING FORWARD

Times are changing, and what is required from a workplace is unique to the organisation. Gone are the days of homogenous office design, and in are the days of tailored solutions that engage and excite teams to be together and do their best work.

The option to remain within the Collins Square precinct provides multiple advantages for BDO, including: continuity of experience for staff, support from Walker during transition, attractive terms and a team committed to retaining and further developing our relationship.

As an existing commercial occupant of Collins Square, we are motivated to deliver an optimal accommodation solution for BDO.

To best appreciate the accommodation option presented, we invite ResolveXO and BDO to join us for a tour of the Proposed Premises in person.

Yours faithfully,

Walker Group Holdings Pty Ltd
