Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

A collection of just 25 large-format apartments and penthouses overlooking Goodwin Park is entering the Coolangatta market, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marea-residences-coolangatta-27-27a-dixon-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Maréa Residences</a> combining a low-density, residential-only approach with uninterrupted park and Pacific Ocean outlooks.

Located at 27 Dixon Street, Maréa comprises three and four-bedroom residences alongside a limited number of dual-level penthouses, with the project positioned between Goodwin Park and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta</a>’s coastal precinct.

Construction has commenced, with completion currently estimated for late 2027. Three-bedroom residences are priced from $1.8 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374005]

The project has been designed around its northern outlook across the park, with the building’s architecture, landscaping and material palette intended to establish a connection with the neighbouring green space. The residences have been configured to maximise natural light and views across Goodwin Park towards the ocean.

Inside, the material palette incorporates timber, stone and brushed brass, complemented by curved detailing and ambient lighting. Kitchens and bathrooms carry the same natural material approach, while residences also include basement parking, storage and lift access.

Maréa’s penthouses are arranged over two levels and include private pools, adding another layer to the project’s focus on larger-format apartment living. Across the development, residences are configured with three or four bedrooms rather than the broader mix of smaller apartment types commonly found in larger projects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374010]

Resident amenity is concentrated at rooftop level, where landscaped entertaining terraces and pools take advantage of elevated views across Coolangatta and the Pacific Ocean.

The project has so far been particularly well received by local owner-occupiers and downsizers, according to Urban Activation Property Sales and Marketing Director Matt George, with the residential-only format, construction quality and northern park outlook among the features resonating with purchasers.

“The uninterrupted northern aspect overlooking Goodwin Park has been a key point of difference, with buyers attracted to the sense of serenity and open space the park provides, while still enjoying easy access to the ocean and being within walking distance of the lifestyle and amenities Coolangatta has to offer,” George said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374002]

“The combination of high-quality construction, a residential-only building, park outlook and proximity to the beach has resonated strongly with the local downsizer market.”

The Dixon Street address is within walking distance of Coolangatta Beach and the broader southern Gold Coast coastline, including the surf breaks at Snapper Rocks and Kirra. Coolangatta’s cafés, restaurants and retail are nearby, while Gold Coast Airport is also within close proximity.

Maréa Residences brings parkside apartments to Coolangatta

Melbourne developer PDG has secured Victorian Government approval for its $1.5 billion Southbank development <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-1-queens-bridge-street-southbank-vic-3006">The One</a>, clearing the way for the long-dormant riverfront site opposite Crown to finally be developed.

The Minister for Planning has approved the project at 1-29 Queens Bridge Street, with the Department of Transport and Planning issuing the planning permit following its assessment.

The approval will allow PDG to develop the prominent 5,059 sqm site with a major mixed-use tower comprising premium apartments, including branded residences, a luxury hotel and boutique office space.

PDG acquired the site in late 2024, with its position directly opposite Crown's main entrance and near Melbourne's Arts Precinct making it one of Southbank's most significant remaining development opportunities.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3933013e-6332-4386-b9be-089df05caf17" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=sITIgBqDL0N3VNSMwWEmF5UA.uvcsRyu" />

Designed by COX in collaboration with ODO and PDG, the tower's architecture draws on the movement of the Yarra River, with six vertical pleats running the height of the sculpted facade.

The project will also see the heritage-listed Queens Bridge Hotel restored and incorporated into the development&nbsp;with new hospitality and public uses, including a rooftop venue.

A significant component of The One will be its residential amenity.

More than 5,000 sqm of resident facilities will be delivered across a single level, making it one of the largest consolidated residential amenity offerings proposed in an Australian apartment development.

The planning approval also incorporates a major upgrade of Queensbridge Square, which PDG will deliver in partnership with the City of Melbourne.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="73167fcd-1031-4b6f-a408-a064cfe45ed1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.17%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Pf1AEWxw6SNmBqR0zQW5lyEze.MtxgFp" />

The existing square will be revitalised as a new civic and pedestrian space along the Yarra River, strengthening the connection between the project, Southbank and the riverfront.

PDG Founder and Managing Director Vince Giuliano said the approval represented a major milestone for a site which has remained largely underutilised for more than 15 years.

“This is the most significant Planning Permit approval Melbourne has seen in recent years,” Giuliano said.

“For more than 15 years, this site has remained underutilised. This approval enables us to deliver a project that will contribute meaningfully to the revitalisation of Southbank, restore and reactivate an important heritage building, and create a new civic and hospitality destination for Melbourne.”

The latest approval follows an earlier planning permit issued by the City of Melbourne covering demolition works across part of the site at 9-29 Queens Bridge Street. Those demolition and early works are already underway.

PDG has also started generating early interest in the residential component from owner-occupiers ahead of a planned public launch in early 2027.

PDG secures approval for $1.5bn Southbank apartment development, The One

Local developer Harridan is seeking to turn its Woolloongabba apartment project into the first stage of a broader transformation of Burke Street, using a new 16-storey mixed-use building to establish a greener pedestrian connection toward the rapidly evolving Boggo Road transport and knowledge precinct.

The South East Queensland developer has filed plans for 154 apartments on the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/4-burke-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">southern side of Burke Street</a>, where its proposal has been designed alongside a wider vision by LatStudios for the street.

That vision positions the southern side of Burke Street for buildings of 15 storeys and above, while envisaging lower-rise development of up to five storeys on the northern side to transition into Woolloongabba's existing character housing. It also proposes wider pedestrian verges, deep planting, new street trees and upgrades to the pedestrian approach to Boggo Road Station.

The Harridan development itself has been designed by Brisbane-based Arqus Design and will comprise 154 apartments across 16 storeys. The mix is weighted heavily toward two-bedroom apartments, with 121 proposed alongside 10 one-bedroom and 23 three-bedroom residences. There will typically be around 14 units per floor.

A lower-ground car park and three podium levels will accommodate 156 resident parking spaces, along with visitor and commercial parking. There will also be 154 resident bicycle spaces and 40 visitor bicycle parks.

&nbsp;

Harridan is a family-owned developer and part of the Holmwood Highgate Group, with more than three decades of development activity across South East Queensland. Its portfolio spans residential, commercial and industrial property, with current residential projects including Riverbank on Byron in Bulimba, Esperance Residences in Carina and The Precinct at Kinross Road in Thornlands.

Wooloongabba has been popular for apartment developers, particularly since the announcement of the 2032 Summer Olympics games in Brisbane.

While there have been a lot of development applications, it has failed to materialize into real supply.&nbsp;

Sarazin has been the major player in the area. They are under construction at Murcia Residences, on the fringe of East Brisbane and Woolloongabba. They have just launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-stanley-residences-woolloongabba-8-trafalgar-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">The Stanley Residences</a>, in Woolloongabba on Trafalagar Street. They also have Nuage coming soon on the nearby <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nuage-woolloongabba-14-wellington-road-woolloongabba-qld-4102">Wellington Road</a>.

Service station yields have continued to firm over the past five years, more particularly for national branded retailers and the sale of quality investment product, according to the June Herron Todd White (HTW) commercial report. 
The report took a look at the service station investment across the nation. 
"Second tier, independent branded service stations and regionally-based assets continue to attract investment within a softer yield range," the valuation firm said. 
The two most recent and prominent service station portfolio auctions for 7-Eleven realised an average analysed yield for the New South Wales holdings of below 4.5%.
These sales comprised a varying degree of asset quality, however all featured 12-year initial lease terms with all outgoings except land tax and management recoverable by the landlord.Each lease had fixed three per cent annual increases and four additional five-year options.
"There have been limited recent service stations sales since the COVID-19 pandemic, however we would anticipate investor interest to remain in quality service station assets despite these uncertain times," the valuation firm said. 
<div class="page" title="Page 3">
<div class="section">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
Investors continue to show interest in service stations with record low yields and strong levels of interest at recent portfolio auctions.
The mix of available service stations has varied from neighbourhood, national brand sites to purpose- built, multi-brand, multi-retail offerings.
The report notes the market continues to seek service stations with strong lease covenants (typically in excess of 12 years) to a quality national tenant, fixed annual increases and future development potential.
<div class="page" title="Page 3">
<div class="section">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
Service station ownership in New South Wales is highly concentrated within a select group of operators.The four largest providers are Ampol (formerly Caltex), BP, Shell-Coles Express and 7-Eleven.There is a higher level of independent operators in regional and coastal areas outside of Sydney.
<div class="page" title="Page 4">
<div class="section">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
2018 was considered the peak year for sales in this sector.A strong development pipeline for new service station sites has been underway for the past few years with a number of operators undertaking asset recycling style portfolio auction programs to release funds for these projects.
The service station market is still considered a safe bet, even with falling demand via more fuel-efficient motor vehicles, social pressure to reduce our carbon footprint and the falling world oil price, the report noted. 
Major fuel retailers are seen as able to maintain fuel and shop margins in an ever increasingly competitive market space and manage the environmental aspects of the day to day operation of the asset and the future potential redevelopment of the site.
<div class="page" title="Page 4">
<div class="section">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
"Risks to the retail fuel market segment are still considered long term with electric and other low-emission options within the next ten to 15 years," the valuation firm said. 
Location is a fundamental that will continue to underpin quality service station investment assets.
A recent sale is the BP service station at 133 Pittwater Road, Manly (pictured above), which was redeveloped in 2019 with new tanks, lines, canopy, convenience store, pumps and forecourt.
It has a passing net rental of $295,000 per annum plus GST.The selling agent reports that the property listing attracted more than 200 enquiries with a final sale price in early April 2020 of $7.2 million exclusive of GST.
<div class="page" title="Page 4">
<div class="section">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
This sale equated to an analysed yield of 4.1%.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2020/7/13/preston%20.jpg" alt="">
A BP service station at 14 Bernera Road, Prestons (pictured above) sold in April 2020 for $8 million exclusive of GST, equating to an analysed yield of 5.53%.
The site is a 3612 square metre, rectangular shaped, internal allotment with single street frontage to Bernera Road.
The property is located within an established industrial precinct of Prestons.
Improved on the site is a modern, circa 2015 built, BP service station with a sublease to Pie Face and a separate Burger Edge food and beverage outlet.
The property sold subject to an existing head lease to BP Australia until 31 December 2030 with three further five year options.
The property has an advised net income of $442,617 per annum net plus GST with annual CPI or four per cent increases.BP is responsible for all outgoings.
"It would appear that despite the COVID-19 pandemic, investments that reflect good management, strong lease covenants and future redevelopment upside are still considered attractive with no evidence to date reflecting a softening in demand in this sector," the valuation firm said. 
"As the New South Wales economy returns to something approaching business as usual in the coming months, the biggest challenge for the balance of 2020 may not be oil demand and prices, but reducing the level of unemployment in the economy."

Investor interest remains in quality NSW service station assets: HTW commercial 

<html><body>
Five developers, including two well-known institutional entities, are behind the purchase of $136 million worth of Caltex service station properties across Australia with plans for a mix of residential and retail development. 
The sales of the 25 properties - 15 in NSW, eight in Victoria, and one each in Queensland and WA - were brokered by CBRE’s Mark Wizel and Julian White with Lincoln Blackledge of Stonebridge. 
The institutional buyers purchased several sites, while three other groups purchased single sites. 
Wizel said the marketing campaign had attracted more than 2000 enquiries and ultimately 160 offers.
He said developers had been attracted by strong locations, the lack of development site options, predictions of housing undersupply, and the license agreement that offered an income well above what they were currently returning on cash in the bank. 
“Given widely forecast predictions of a looming undersupply of apartments, purchasing one or more of these sites was an ideal way to build a pipeline to cater to pent up demand whilst generating an attractive income in the interim,’’ Wizel said. 
“The market’s response to the campaign was not surprising, indeed it was a clear indication that confidence is returning to the residential development sector on the back of what has been perhaps a surprisingly quick rebound in housing prices across key markets.’’
He said the fact that the bulk of the sites were extremely well located to transport, schools and town centres made them ideal for residential redevelopment. 
Caltex Chief Development Officer David Bridger said the success of the campaign had unambiguously vindicated the divestment strategy involving a portfolio of 50 well located properties. 
“These sites had been identified as having a higher and better, non-fuel related use and obviously the market is in accord with that rationale given the success of this first tranche of sites we are very confident in putting to market another 25 sites across Australia early next year,’’ Bridger said. 
White said the properties, located in prime suburban precincts, including Surfers Paradise, Bondi, Mascot, Box Hill, and Perth, were sold via an expressions of interest campaign with purchasers having options to buy individual sites, sites in any combination or the offering as a whole.
He said the currently trading petrol stations - the first in tranche of a 50 property divestment strategy - would soon cease trading with remediation to be undertaken under a license agreement.

A new Shell service station in Noosaville has been offered for sale. 
The service station, at 140-142 Eumundi Noosa Road, is passed by more than 17,000 vehicles each day and in excess of six million annually. 
The 2,428 square metre site includes a 40m frontage to one of the region’s busiest roads, the main thoroughfare linking Noosa Heads with the Bruce Highway at Eumundi. 
Viva Energy, the Australian distributor of Shell fuel and lubricants, has a 15-year lease on the property, which generates annual net income of $426,921. 
Shell is accompanied by a NightOwl convenience store and the family-owned Rick’s Artisan Pies and Sourdough at the site, which opened in 2017. 
The CBRE Queensland Retail Investments team of Darren Collins, Michael Hedger and Joe Tynan together with CBRE Sunshine Coast Managing Director Rem Rafter have been appointed to manage the sale campaign. 
Expressions of interest are sought before December 5.
The property is near the Noosa Civic shopping centre, which recently sold for $250 million, the Noosaville Auto Park and a host of major retailers, led by Bunnings. 
It features seven covered fuelling bays and a total of 15 customer car parks. 
“The site is exceptionally well located,” Mr Collins said. 
“It is only five kilometres from Hastings Street in Noosa Heads and 25 kilometres from Sunshine Coast Airport, the country’s fastest-growing airport.

WA-based funds management company, Mair Property Funds, has sold the 7-Eleven service station in Canning Vale in an off-market transaction. 
The property, which is situated at 488 Ranford Road, was sold through Paul Davison and Jeff Klopper from Vend Property for $5.75 million. 
Mair Property Funds developed the site in 2016 and signed a 15-year lease with the international service station and convenience store chain.
Portfolio Manager for Mair Property Funds, Alex Lambert, said the results of the sale realised the development profit for investors in their commercial property trust, MPS Unit Trust 2. 
“Being a relatively new asset with a strong tenancy in place and a remaining lease term of over ten years, we identified a key opportunity to maximise the investment value of the property through its sale in a low yielding environment.”
The MPS Unit Trust 2 also owns other assets including Beldon Shopping Centre, which underwent a full refurbishment in 2016 after signing a 20-year lease to national retailer, Woolworths. 
“Since its refurbishment in 2016, Beldon Shopping Centre has benefited considerably from increased foot traffic.
“We are now working actively with our property management division to identify further ways to maximise and enhance the property’s performance,” Mr Lambert said.

A 7-Eleven service station and convenience store in the south-eastern Perth suburb of Gosnells has sold for $5.1 million.
The property at 303 Corfield Street is passed by around 19,000 vehicles each day.
Knight Frank Director of Capital. Markets – WA, Tony Delich, said the 7-Eleven operator had recently signed a new, 15-year lease with fixed 3% annual rent increases, on a current net rental of $322,000 per annum. 
The sale price reflected a yield of 6.3%.
“This property is on the major, four lane district distributor road from Tonkin Highway, near the Albany Highway intersection, and there is a rapidly increasing residential catchment in the area,” Delich said. 
The property has a total land area of 1,945 square metres.
It directly opposite the IGA-anchored Corfield shopping centre and the Corfield Tavern, as well as adjoining a 3.27 hectare site currently poised for a 36-lot residential subdivision.

A BP service station and convenience store in Penshurst has sold under the hammer for $2.6 million.
The self-serve service station on a 1106 square metre site at <a href="http://ecomms.raywhite.com/collect/click.aspx?u=jRYOrR8N39R+6hBQZ7yXMt0Z3VIjNMZGjbELeHnO+iI0F/4HNRZHAZhkJjilzWfq&amp;rh=ff004d9112bb757b10ea167f9d4d8cc7b94563d2" target="_blank">494 Forest Road</a> was leased by a BP franchise.
The building measured 221 square metres.
The property was marketed and sold by Ray White Commercial NSW Director Michael Ajaka and Ray White Hurstville Sales Manager Christopher Munk.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/6/25/494%20Forest%20Road%20-%203.jpg" alt="">
Ajaka said the auction was attended by a 50-strong in-room crowd.
“The bidding started at $1.6M and more than 35 bids later, the sought-after asset finally sold for $2.6 million, $1 million more than the opening bid,” Ajaka said.
“Two multi-site service operators looking to add the property to their individual portfolios were raising their paddles, with a local Chinese syndicate and offshore buyer also bidding, until a local identity placed the winning bid.
“The sale represented a yield of five per cent net and highlighted how service stations are a solid investment in the current market. 
“It’s the only service station to be sold in the St George area in at least five years, with me selling the previous one.

Seven individual Metro Petroleum service stations spread across NSW, VIC and QLD are headed to auction, at the same Sydney in-rooms event.   Sites at Broken Hill and Cootamundra in NSW, Bonnie Doon, Rutherglen, Cann River, Great Western in VIC and Texas in QLD are all going to be under the hammer on May 16.   The sites are marketed by Ray White Commercial NSW Director Michael Ajaka, Commercial VIC Director Paul Waterhouse and Commercial QLD Director John Dwyer.   Mr Ajaka said the portfolio of service stations, currently head-leased to Dib Group (trading as Metro Petroleum and a Shell service station at Cann River), offered investors exceptional opportunities to purchase premium investment properties.   “'Metro Petroleum' is a major petroleum brand with approximately 250 service stations and convenience stores across Australia’s east coast, including Western Australia and South Australia,” he said.

“Servicing a large base of wholesale customers nationwide, it makes the company one of Australia’s largest independent service station franchises.   “Service stations really are a solid investment and banks are still financing investors to buy them, which makes them particularly appealing in the current market.   “The operators have good sustainable businesses such as the fuel sales, convenience stores, and with some having cafes they also run on-site.   “These opportunities will appeal to a number of people, from mum and dad investors as part of their superfund portfolios, to high net-worth individuals with interest expected to come from locals, nationals and offshore investors   “Leases on the sites run until 2028, 2029, 2030 with options, with an annual rent increase of CPI as per lease, and tenants paying outgoings as per lease (excluding land tax and building insurance).'"
