Iconic brands McDonalds, Guzman y Gomez and 7-Eleven are set to headline Stonebridge Property Group’s September National Portfolio Campaign.
With buyers sharpening their focus on investments that deliver consistent performance through all market cycles – interest in the portfolio launch is already high. Demand is particularly strong for properties backed by household-name tenants on long leases, offering secure income streams in both growth corridors and established suburban markets.
The upcoming portfolio showcases a diverse range of investments across fast food, fuel and childcare, catering to buyers at entry level price points from $2 million, to premium assets valued above $20 million.
Stonebridge Partner, Tom Moreland, added “Following our successful August Portfolio Auction campaigns, whereby all properties have now sold, we expect many of the underbidders to turn their attention to these new offerings, led by a rarely offered freestanding McDonald’s, as well as quality childcare and fuel offerings across the Eastern Seaboard.”
Fast Food
Headlining the portfolio is the McDonald’s at Glendale, in Greater Newcastle NSW, a high-performing pad site positioned adjacent the $315 million Glendale Shopping Centre – anchored by Coles, Woolworths and over 75 specialty stores. The property offers 27 on-site car parks and prime exposure to a major arterial road carrying over 26,800 vehicles daily. McDonald’s have committed to a renewed 20-year lease and pay all outgoings including Land Tax—an exceptionally rare investment opportunity.
In the booming residential growth suburb of Clyde North, Melbourne, a new Guzman y Gomez is up for grabs. Developed by Griffith Group as part of a broader mixed-use retail development within the $1 Billion Meridian Estate, the 2,531 sqm property is secured on a 20-year net lease to 2045 with options to 2075.
Stonebridge Partner, Rorey James, commented “The Victorian market has been starved of quality fast food investment offerings so far in 25’, particularly in metropolitan Melbourne, and we anticipate strong interest in the GYG asset given the immense population growth of this corridor and long-term drivers of this site – set up for strong store sales and performance.”
Childcare
Stonebridge have handled 43% of all freehold childcare sales across the Eastern Seaboard in 2025 totalling $229 million.
Cementing their position as the leading agency in childcare sales, the September Portfolio will offer a premium collection of 11 childcare centres across the Eastern Seaboard, reflecting one of the broadest offerings to market in recent times.
“After a strong run of childcare transactions this year, we have a highly engaged national database and enquiry list ready to act on these new opportunities,” said Michael Collins, Partner at Stonebridge.
Standing out amongst the pack is the Young Academics at Greystanes, Sydney, a state-of-the-art childcare investment which offers a land tax free opportunity secured by a 15-year net lease to a leading operator with strong occupancy. Purpose-built in 2023, the architecturally designed two-level centre accommodates 104 places and features a secure basement car park, delivering significant depreciation benefits.
‘The Pocket Childcare’ in St Lucia, Brisbane will also be listed for sale as the only freehold childcare opportunity in the exclusive St Lucia enclave, with other centres being owned by the council, State Government or the University of Queensland.
Fuel & Convenience Retail
Finally, four fuel and convenience investments will be up for sale, leased to heavyweight tenants including 7-Eleven and United Petroleum. The fuel and convenience sector has seen renewed investor interest of late, supported by its comparatively higher yielding nature and stabilising sentiment around the long-term role of fuel. Total transaction value increased by 35% between FY24 and FY25, reflecting improved confidence and stronger capital flows into the asset class.
Stonebridge’s National Portfolio Auction will be held on Wednesday 24 September at The Capella Hotel, Sydney, with remote bidding in Melbourne and Brisbane, alongside international live-stream and bidding capabilities available. The respective expressions of interest campaigns are now also live.
