The property group GPT has sold Norton Plaza, a neighbourhood shopping centre in Sydney's Leichhardt.

It sold to a private local investor for $153.2 million.

Norton Plaza comprises 11,800 square metres with a Coles supermarket and 50 retailers.

It also includes a large-format Harris Farm Market.

Nine Entertainment speculated the deal was struck on a core cap rate of 5.5% with the asset selling above its book value.

The Australian Financial Review had advised the move to offload Norton Plaza was part of the wholesale fund’s broader effort of focusing its portfolio on super-regional malls as a bulwark against headwinds in the retail sector.
