Investors Set to Converge at Australia’s most comprehensive Commercial Portfolio Auction of 2025

Australia’s most comprehensive commercial portfolio auction event of the year is set to deliver high-quality assets to a wide pool of investors, with Burgess Rawson bringing its largest selection of prime commercial assets to market.

Portfolio 176 will showcase a diverse range of properties across three days and three capital cities, beginning at the iconic Sydney Opera House on Monday, May 13. The national event then continues at Crown Melbourne on May 14 before concluding at The Westin Brisbane on May 15.

With more than 30 properties on offer, including several assets from the May Portfolio SELECT Expressions of Interest campaign, the series presents an outstanding opportunity for investors.

The auction features a diverse selection of investments across key sectors including fast food, early education, convenience retail, and hospitality. Every price point is covered with a selection of sub $1 million assets available along with assets for the seasoned investor.

One of the standout listings is a KFC in Goulburn, NSW, offering a net annual income of $184,533.

Early education assets continue to attract strong interest, with options across various price points. Highlights include Busy Bees at Killarney Heights, NSW which returns $401,833 per annum.

Convenience retail remains a sought-after category. OTR in Moonee Ponds, VIC, generates $481,734 in net annual income. Investors can also consider BP in Valley View, SA, with a return of $463,709, or a 7-Eleven in Roselands, NSW, offering $213,042 per year.

Pubs are also well represented, with iconic assets including the Queenscliff Brewhouse and Ballarat’s Golden City Hotel among the offerings.

“This is the most comprehensive portfolio auction event of the year,” said Burgess Rawson National Partner, Shaun Venables.

“It’s complemented by our $160 million Portfolio SELECT campaign, which features some of the most high-profile assets currently on the market.”

Mr Venables added that investor confidence is clearly building in Australia’s commercial property sector due to stock market volatility and global events.

“With interest rates stabilising and commercial yields remaining competitive, we’re seeing real momentum return to the market across all buyer segments.”

Burgess Rawson’s most recent event realised more than $70 million in transactions across 22 properties.

Among the top sales: PFD Foods in Geebung, which received nearly 50 bids and sold for $7.52 million at a 4.82% yield, and a property in Devonport, Tasmania, which sold for $4.325 million. In Sydney, the largest sale was Ampol in North Narrabeen, which transacted for $8.18 million at a 5.51% yield.
