CBRE has launched its latest national portfolio campaign, bringing to market one of its largest offerings in recent years, with over $200 million available nationally across auctions and expressions of interest campaigns.
The portfolio comprises a curated mix of fast food, convenience retail, healthcare and childcare assets, reflecting sustained investor demand for income-producing investments underpinned by non-discretionary spending.
A key highlight of the campaign is a cluster of trophy fast food investments within Sydney’s Zetland/Green Square precinct, including McDonald’s, KFC, Taco Bell and complementary retail tenancies, with individual assets generating income from approximately $107,000 to $298,000 per annum. These assets, positioned within a high-growth inner-city catchment, offer long-term net leases and exposure to globally recognised operators, with strong underlying cashflow driving investor demand.
The campaign also features one of the largest convenience retail offerings brought to market in Australia, with high-profile assets including OTR sites in Ropes Crossing (NSW), Hendon (SA) and Hamilton (NSW), alongside BP investments in Molendinar on the Gold Coast and Idalia in Townsville, and an Ampol investment in Yamanto, Brisbane.
The OTR assets generate income ranging from approximately $321,000 to $687,000 per annum, while BP and Ampol investments deliver income from approximately $357,000 to $607,000 per annum. These assets benefit from high-exposure arterial locations, strong tenant covenants and long lease structures with built-in rental growth.
Further enhancing the campaign is a diverse mix of high-quality metropolitan and regional assets, including the Club Lime (Viva Leisure) investment in Dickson, Canberra generating $1,322,329 per annum, and the Airmaster headquarters in Scoresby, Melbourne, returning $540,750 per annum, highlighting the portfolio’s scale and income diversity.
Also in the mix is a brand new Bridgestone investment in Armstrong Creek, underpinned by a long 15-year lease to the global tyre giant. The asset offers secure income growth with fixed rental increases and benefits from its position within a rapidly expanding Geelong growth corridor.
CBRE Senior Director Shaun Venables said the campaign reflects a clear shift toward defensive investment sectors, “We’re seeing consistent demand for assets underpinned by everyday spending. Portfolio 185 brings together a strong mix of investments with long leases, quality tenants and predictable income streams, which continue to resonate with private capital.”
CBRE Senior Director Kieran Bourke, who is marketing both the McDonald’s asset in Zetland and the Canberra investment, said, “Opportunities to acquire trophy assets of this calibre, whether it’s global fast
food brands or major institutional tenants like Viva Leisure, are tightly held. The level of enquiry we’re seeing highlights the strength of demand across both premium and scale investments.”
Portfolio 185 also includes a selection of entry-level commercial investments, appealing to first-time buyers entering the sector. Recent Federal Budget changes are expected to accelerate this trend, driving capital away from residential property and into commercial assets offering stronger income fundamentals and tenant-backed security.
Portfolio 185 is expected to attract strong interest from domestic and offshore buyers, continuing the momentum seen across CBRE’s portfolio auction platform.
The Portfolio 185 auction campaign will be staged across three days at key national venues: Sydney on 23 June at the Sydney Opera House, Melbourne on 24 June at Crown Casino, and Brisbane on 25 June at CBRE’s offices.
