Woolworths Metro Newtown is one of only two Sydney metropolitan supermarkets publicly marketed in 2025
A rare opportunity to acquire the freestanding Woolworths Metro Newtown has been launched to the market by Colliers. Located on Erskineville Road in the heart of Newtown, the asset presents a tightly held inner‑city retail investment underpinned by a Woolworths Group lease and significant commuter exposure.
Woolworths Metro Newtown occupies a prominent position less than 6 kilometres south‑west of the Sydney CBD and is located approximately 200 metres from Newtown Station. The centre benefits from exceptional connectivity to major employment and lifestyle hubs and is supported by a strong local community and education precinct, including four nearby schools and close proximity to The University of Sydney.
The development was completed by Haben in 2013, and this marks the first time that the supermarket is publicly available for sale.
The property is fully leased to Woolworths Group, offering predictable income characteristics including fixed reviews and turnover rent provisions. With an affluent local trade area and supermarket spending in the MTA forecast to grow at 3.7% p.a. to 2046, the centre is wellpositioned to benefit from longterm demand for supermarket convenience. It includes a highly soughtafter ongrade covered car park and a Gross Floor Area of 1,446m2, delivering a compact, efficient supermarket footprint with reliable trading fundamentals. At an accessible circa $10 million price point, the campaign is expected to attract strong interest.
“Woolworths Metro Newtown is only the second Sydney metropolitan supermarket to be publicly offered for sale in 2025, which makes it an uncommon and highly soughtafter metro supermarket opportunity. Its tight innercity location, direct access to Newtown Station and income security under a Woolworths lease combine to deliver a compelling, lowmanagement investment for buyers targeting reliable retail returns,” said James Wilson, Head of Retail Middle Markets, Australia.
“Supermarkets continue to deliver strong outcomes across both metro and regional markets as demonstrated by recent campaigns including Woolworths Umina, Woolworths Glenorie and Woolworths Metro Pennant Hills. Given the property’s fundamentals and the relatively affordable price point, we anticipate significant interest from domestic and offshore private capital,” added Ben Wilkinson, NSW Manager of Retail Middle Markets.
Woolworths Metro Newtown is exclusively listed with the Colliers team of James Wilson and Ben Wilkinson. It is being offered for sale through Expressions of Interest closing at 2.00pm (AEDT) on Thursday, 6th November 2025.
