Multiple buyers were pragmatic about COVID-19 uncertainties: agents
Multiple purchaser groups showed an interest according to the marketing agents.
“Bardon Central generated strong interest throughout the sale campaign and not withstanding the uncertainties associated with COVID-19, most buyers took a pragmatic view and focused on the underlying opportunity to purchase an income asset with strong fundamentals,” Savills’ Jon Tyson said. “The buyer was attracted to the centre’s broad mix of food and service tenants and its prominent location in an established an affluent part of inner Brisbane”.
Colleague Michael Harcourt added the agency is “continuing to experience strong demand for retail and convenience investment particularly those with a diverse tenant mix weighted towards non-discretionary retail and essential services”.
