Record-Breaking $18.4M Sale Headlines Day One of Burgess Rawson’s National Portfolio Auction in Sydney

Day one of Burgess Rawson’s Portfolio Auction 177 delivered a commanding result, achieving $35.76 million in sales and a 75 per cent success rate and blended yield of 4.92 per cent—highlighting sustained investor confidence in premium, recession-resilient assets.

Headlining the day was the record-breaking $18.4 million sale and 3.97% yield of a landmark McDonald’s and 7-Eleven investment in Greystanes, NSW which attracted a staggering 293 bids before it sold under the hammer.

Burgess Rawson National Partner Yosh Mendis said the trophy asset attracted strong investor interest, with over 250 enquiries across Australia, with the number of bids and selling price setting a new benchmark for dual-branded freestanding investments.

“The result reflects a growing appetite for high-profile, nationally tenanted properties with secure income streams.

“Investors continue to favour premium, blue-chip brands like McDonald’s and 7-Eleven. These properties very rarely come to market and are strategically located, underpinned by long-term leases, and offer unmatched performance in any market cycle,” he said.

Situated on a high-exposure site in one of western Sydney’s busiest growth corridors, the Greystanes asset represents the ideal formula for investors: essential service tenants, premium frontage, and bulletproof income.

As yields tighten for quality assets, Burgess Rawson’s national auction platform continues to attract serious buyers across the country—driven by trust in essential services and long-term value.

Early education assets also recorded standout results on the day, with strong yields reflecting continued investor confidence in the sector. Little Lambs Preschool in Tuross Head, NSW sold for $1.56 million at a 4.99 per cent yield, while Little Kindy in Forbes, NSW achieved $3.701 million at a 5.10 per cent yield.

Investors who missed out will have another opportunity at tomorrow’s Melbourne Portfolio Auction, with a premium McDonald’s in St Albans plus a range of early education and fast food set to go under the hammer at Crown Casino at 10.30am.
