Industrial, retail, office, healthcare, lifestyle, storage and diversified — every A-REIT currently available on the ASX, grouped by sector. Quick reference, not a buy list.
The REITs listed below are provided for research and convenience only. This is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any specific REIT. Distributions from stapled securities include trust income, capital gains and tax-deferred return-of-capital components — they are not the same as franked dividends from companies. Always compare fees, debt levels, occupancy and lease structures, and consult a licensed Australian adviser before investing. Market caps and inclusion are accurate as of mid-2026 but the listed set can change. A handful of entries near the bottom (flagged 🇺🇸 🇧🇷) are listed in the United States or Brazil, not the ASX — shown for comparison only, with different tax, currency and brokerage-access considerations.
An Australian Real Estate Investment Trust (A-REIT) is a listed trust that owns income-producing property — shopping centres, warehouses, offices, childcare centres, hotels, petrol stations, or a mix. You buy units on the ASX exactly like a share. The trust collects rent from tenants and passes the income through to you as quarterly or half-yearly distributions.
The Outback Investor view: A-REITs sit alongside physical real estate, stocks and cash in a diversified portfolio. They give you diversified, professionally managed property exposure without lumpy lot sizes, no tenants to chase, no maintenance calls at 2 am, and full liquidity on T+2. The trade-off: distributions are typically unfranked (because the trust itself doesn’t pay company tax), and stapled-security distributions include tax-deferred components that reduce your cost base — check the AMIT statement each year.
It is the first question everyone asks, and it deserves a real answer rather than a slogan. Our Property vs A-REITs simulator puts the same deposit into an investment property and into a basket of A-REITs, then makes both investors commit identical after-tax cash every single year — same interest rate, same tax rate, same time frame. It shows who clears their loan first, what each pays you monthly, quarterly and yearly at retirement, and the exact capital growth rate the house needs to break even.
Run the comparison →Warehouses, distribution centres, business parks, data centres. The structural winner of the e-commerce decade — and the sector home to the ASX’s largest A-REIT.
The ASX’s largest A-REIT. Global logistics and industrial portfolio across 14 countries, increasingly tilted toward data centres. The bellwether of the sector.
Open quote ↗Australia’s largest domestic pure-play industrial trust. Last-mile distribution centres near major capital cities, with a growing data-centre allocation.
Open quote ↗Industrial and business-park properties weighted to the East Coast capitals. Managed by Dexus, one of Australia’s oldest real estate groups.
Open quote ↗Predominantly Brisbane-based industrial portfolio with a smaller commercial office allocation. Smaller cap — less liquid than the majors.
Open quote ↗Major regional shopping centres down to neighbourhood Coles/Woolworths anchors. Heavily disrupted by e-commerce in the 2010s — the survivors are now more focused on convenience and daily-needs.
Owner-operator of 42 Westfield destinations across Australia and New Zealand. 12,000+ retail tenants. The premium end of Australian retail property.
Open quote ↗52 shopping centres, ~$24B AUM. Owns landmark assets including Melbourne’s Emporium and Sydney’s Queen Victoria Building. Increasingly mixed-use.
Open quote ↗Convenience-focused shopping centres anchored by Woolworths, Coles and major fuel retailers. Defensive cash flows from everyday-essentials tenants.
Open quote ↗Formerly SCA Property. Neighbourhood and sub-regional shopping centres, mostly anchored by supermarkets. Daily-needs focus.
Open quote ↗Large-format retail anchored by essentials retailers — Bunnings, Officeworks, JB Hi-Fi, supermarkets. Focused on convenience and online-resistant categories.
Open quote ↗Single-tenant pure-play on Bunnings Warehouse properties across Australia. Very long-WALE leases — about as concentrated as a REIT gets.
Open quote ↗Single-asset trust owning Westfield Carindale shopping centre in Brisbane. Highly concentrated exposure — for investors with a specific view on the asset.
Open quote ↗Multi-sector property groups holding mixes of office, retail, industrial, residential and funds-management businesses. The “one-stop” A-REIT exposure.
70+ year-old diversified property group. Residential communities (master-planned estates), retirement living and shopping centres across Australia.
Open quote ↗Integrated property group. Apartments, office towers, industrial and retail — all Australian. Develops as well as owns.
Open quote ↗Origin of the first Australian property trust (1971). $34B AUM across office, retail and logistics. Focus on Sydney and Melbourne prime assets.
Open quote ↗$50B+ real estate and infrastructure group across Australasia. Office-heavy with industrial, healthcare and infrastructure additions.
Open quote ↗Diversified property investment and funds-management group. Manages several listed and unlisted property funds. Fee + co-investment income mix.
Open quote ↗Long Weighted-Average Lease Expiry (WALE) portfolio across telcos, supermarkets, government and industrial. Cash flow stability is the pitch.
Open quote ↗Australian property investment and funds management with an office and industrial focus. Previously had a European arm — now mostly domestic.
Open quote ↗Office and industrial portfolio across Australia. Backed by South African parent Growthpoint Properties. Mid-cap diversified play.
Open quote ↗Funds-management platform that operates the Centuria Industrial (CIP) and Office (COF) REITs and a range of unlisted funds. Investment-manager economics.
Open quote ↗Smaller diversified property-investment and funds-management group. Opportunistic strategy across listed and unlisted positions.
Open quote ↗Pure-play office REITs. The sector most affected by hybrid working — read the WALE, the occupancy and the discount to NTA carefully before buying anything here.
Australia’s largest pure-play office REIT. Metropolitan and CBD office towers across most capitals. Currently trades at a discount to NTA — a recurring office-sector theme.
Open quote ↗Office portfolio focused on Perth (WA) with selected East Coast assets. Boutique manager — closely held, smaller scale.
Open quote ↗Highly specialised: service-station forecourts leased to major fuel and convenience operators. Very long leases, very narrow tenant set — defensive but concentrated.
Australia’s largest service-station REIT. Long-WALE properties leased predominantly to Viva Energy (formerly Caltex/Shell sites). EV transition risk to monitor.
Open quote ↗Convenience retail and service-station properties across Australia. Tenant mix includes Ampol, Viva Energy, 7-Eleven and supermarkets.
Open quote ↗High-margin, sticky, recession-resistant. Self-storage tenants typically stay for years and absorb annual rent increases without much pushback. A favourite niche of professional property investors — though the ASX-listed side of the sector has consolidated sharply in 2026: National Storage REIT (NSR) was taken private by a Brookfield–GIC consortium in May 2026, leaving a single pure-play listed name.
Niche A-REITs and real estate managers — early-learning centres, retirement communities, pubs, flexible workspace, and listed real estate debt/managers. Smaller, less-known, but often where the genuine yield lives.
260+ childcare centres and 11 healthcare facilities. Government-backed demand and lease terms averaging ~20 years. Defensive social-infrastructure play.
Open quote ↗Australia's only ASX-listed agricultural REIT. Owns ~$2B of farmland — cattle, almonds, macadamias, cotton and vineyards — leased back to farming operators. Long WALE, inflation-linked rents.
Open quote ↗300+ properties: childcare and education, healthcare, government services, transport. Triple-net leases, 11+ year WALE. Inflation-linked rent reviews.
Open quote ↗Hotel and pub properties across Australia, mostly leased to Coles-owned operators. Long leases, defensive tenant covenant.
Open quote ↗Lifestyle communities (over-55 and holiday parks). Demographic tailwind: an ageing Australia downsizing into affordable, community-style living.
Open quote ↗Affordable housing, residential, retirement and tourism parks. Carved out a niche serving Australians priced out of mainstream housing.
Open quote ↗Co-working and flexible workspace assets. Bet on the hybrid-work future — operating model is closer to a serviced-office business than a traditional landlord.
Open quote ↗Listed alternative-asset manager with real estate at the core. Manages HomeCo Daily Needs (HDN) and other listed and unlisted vehicles. Manager economics, not pure rent.
Open quote ↗Spun out of HomeCo in 2021. Owns hospitals, day surgeries, medical centres, aged care and life-sciences facilities. Government-backed tenants, long leases. Pure healthcare property exposure on the ASX.
Open quote ↗Listed real estate debt fund — lends to property borrowers rather than owning bricks. Monthly distributions targeting RBA cash rate + 5%.
Open quote ↗Global property and construction group. Develops, invests in and manages major urban precincts. Sits at the property-and-construction boundary rather than being a pure REIT.
Open quote ↗Diversified property group post the 2023 storage demerger (which created Abacus Storage King, now Storage King Group, ticker SKG). Office and retail portfolio across major Australian markets.
Open quote ↗No REITs match your search. Try a ticker like GMG or part of a name.
Farmland-income vehicles from the United States and Brazil, shown alongside Rural Funds Group (RFF, above) for comparison. None of these trade on the ASX — buying them means a US or Brazilian brokerage account, foreign withholding tax and currency risk on top of the usual property risks. Flags mark the home market; this is a reference set, not a recommendation.
US-listed (Nasdaq) farmland REIT leasing row-crop and permanent-crop land to growers across the US. Distribution yield around 6%, but recent earnings and share-count trends are worth checking closely before comparing it to RFF.
Open quote ↗US-listed (NYSE) farmland REIT diversified across row crops nationally. Lower current yield than LAND, but a notably stronger balance-sheet trend — meaningful deleveraging over the past few years.
Open quote ↗Brazilian FIAGRO (agricultural fund) that owns rural land directly, via sale-and-leaseback, buy-to-lease and land-equity strategies. High distribution yield, though part of the income depends on land sales rather than pure recurring rent.
Open quote ↗Brazilian FIAGRO investing mainly in agricultural credit and receivables (CRA) rather than owning land directly — closer to a farm-lending fund than a landlord.
Open quote ↗Smaller Brazilian agricultural fund with very thin public data coverage. Treat the yield and underlying structure as unconfirmed until more detail surfaces.
Open quote ↗The OIM Method (Greenblatt 35% / Graham 25% / Siegel 25% / Bazin 15%) applies to A-REITs the same as any other listed business. Members get full OIM-scored REIT analysis with rationale across all four pillars, plus the Rebalancer to allocate new contributions without triggering CGT.
