Tenanted investments in Noosa's new retail development attracts local investors

Four of five tenanted investments in the Noosa region’s new retail development, Shops on Hilton, have sold to local investors after recent strata titling.

Located at 11-19 Hilton Terrace, the development is situated on a busy road linking Noosaville to Tewantin.

Ray White’s Louisa Blennerhassett and David Brinkley have been leasing the properties since it opened for trade in 2019.

“Yields achieved have ranged from 5.7 per cent to 6.2 per cent with buyers recognising the value of a brand-new building in a prominent location,” Blennerhassett said.

According to the agents, enquiry has been “very strong” on the individual tenancies, coming from Queensland, NSW and Victoria.

“We feel that local buyers are witnessing firsthand the strength of the Sunshine Coast and Noosa markets and want to be part of this growth”, Brinkley said.

All tenants at the properties were in the early stages of three to five-year terms, with options, indicating that investors are seeking quality tenants and long-term investments.

“Given low interest rates, yields are tightening to levels we have not seen before”, Brinkley said.

“These results are confirming what we already know - that the Sunshine Coast is on a strong upwards growth curve which certainly has not slowed in recent months”, he said.
