A strata-titled commercial property at Noosaville on the Sunshine Coast has sold under the hammer for $1.1 million.
A local investor purchased the 5/5 Gibson Road property on a yield of about 8.77%. 
John Petralia and Paul Forrest of Ray White Commercial Noosa negotiated the sale on behalf of local business owners.
The 395 square metre property is leased to Jetts Fitness Noosa, which has five years remaining on its current lease. The gym operator is paying net rental of about $96,500 per annum.
Mr Petralia said the marketing campaign for the property attracted about 40 enquiries with one offer to purchase prior to auction.
“With official interest rates at record lows and growing consumer confidence, the moral of this story if you are considering a property that is going to auction make sure you are in position to bid,” he said.
Commercial property yields, he added, were currently ranging between eight to 10%, almost double residential investment yields.
“There is a significant amount of money, including self- managed superannuation funds, chasing quality commercial properties,” said Mr Petralia.

At 10 Durham Street, Bayswater, the warehouse is 565 square metres, made of brick and concrete panel, on 1,214 square metres of land.
“We were engaged to sell the property in April of this year. Prior to taking the property to the market we identified a number of possible buyers on our database and notified them that we were listing the property for sale," said Dear.
“Following an inspection with one of the buyers, an offer was received and after a period of negotiation was accepted by the owners."
The sale occurred within five days of the property being listed for sale and saw the contract go unconditional a week later.
It will settle in July - the seller's preference.
Interested parties can look to lease the warehouse from early-July 2014, for $60,000 per annum plus GST and outgoings.

Mariana Hardwick’s Brunswick ground floor salon and first floor at the Hardwick Building have sold for $3.22 million.
Sold by Fitzroys agents James Gregson and Rick Berry at auction, there was competitive bidding between three prospective purchasers.
The ground floor salon was 375 square metres, and the offering also included a first floor atelier, and office spaces, to a total of 875 square metres, as well as air rights.
The property included Lot N – a 950 square metre block above the first floor of the main buildings, which allows the purchaser to undertake development in future.
It was subject to a long lease to Mariana Hardwick until 2032 with a 5+7+7 lease structure from July 1 2013.
On the first floor, approximately 135 square metres are leased to Letterbox on a three year deal from 15 October 2013.
The combined rental return total is an estimated $250,000.
“This is an historic landmark property in a major inner city growth location with a long lease to an iconic operator, and with development upside and subdivision potential,” said Gregson.
“The property’s positioning in the prime trading section of Sydney Road, Brunswick, which has benefited from the resurgence of inner city living and increased demand and gentrification of the area, further attracted interest from both local and interstate investors,” he said.
The history of the two-level building stretches back until 1907 when it began as the Hoopers Drapers store. After a succession of owners including Waltons and Spotlight, Mariana Hardwick acquired the Hoopers Building in 2005 as a new location for her salon.
