Spook-tacular Halloween Fair proves to be the ‘best of the best’

On 28 October 2023, Elara Village transformed ahead of the ‘Spook-tacular Halloween Fair’. The event was attended by more than 5,000 people and featured live entertainment, a DJ, food trucks, spooky crafts and facepainting, competitions, and of course, trick-or-treating.

The event was the highest attended activation since the centre opened in November 2021, solidifying Elara Village as a hub for community events.

Elara Village, which is managed by Colliers and owned by Trilogy Funds, took out the prize in the ‘Compelling Experiences’ category for small centres (75 stores or less). The judges said the Spook-tacular Halloween Fair was a ‘Great activation for community with low budget, leveraging key partnerships with strong results.’

Trilogy Funds moves into the large-format retail space

In early October 2024, Trilogy Funds took its first steps into the large-format retail and convenience retail asset classes with the purchase of a $220 million portfolio of property income funds.

The acquisition included the management rights in four and co-investment stakes in three property trusts, including Elara Village, which were all previously managed by various entities affiliated with Eildon Capital Group.

The strategic acquisition bolstered Trilogy Funds’ overall portfolio of funds under management to more than $1.4 billion across its unlisted property, real estate credit and diversified income funds.
