Stonebridge Property Group is pleased to announce the launch of its third National Portfolio for 2025, comprising a collection of 19 freestanding investment assets located across Australia.
The launch coincides with the forthcoming release of Stonebridge’s Q1 2025 report, which evidences a 58% increase in transaction volumes and a 25% uplift in enquiries for freestanding investments when compared to Q1 2024.
Stonebridge has observed a strengthening in consumer confidence, an increased flow of capital, and robust risk-adjusted returns for freestanding investments in 2025.
The latest portfolio is anchored by some of the nation’s most trusted fast food and retail operators — including Coles, KFC, 7-Eleven, Hungry Jack’s, Guzman y Gomez, and Starbucks — offering investors the opportunity to acquire blue-chip assets, underpinned by long-term income streams, with price points starting from $2 million.
Among the portfolio’s standout assets is a Coles-anchored supermarket prominently positioned on the Manly Corso in Sydney. Situated in an iconic and globally recognised location, the ‘Coles Local’ occupies a high-profile site benefitting from significant pedestrian traffic and is being presented to market for the first time in nearly 40 years.
In Victoria, a brand-new, mixed-use fast food and convenience retail precinct has come to market within the rapidly expanding Waurn Ponds retail corridor in Geelong. This offering includes four individually titled, freehold investments — KFC, Guzman y Gomez, Starbucks, and 7-Eleven — each secured by new lease terms of up to 20 years. Strategically located along the Princes Highway, the precinct sits adjacent to key national retailers including Bunnings, Woolworths, Coles, and the Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre and Homemaker Centre.
Commenting on the launch, Tom Moreland, Partner at Stonebridge, stated, “Following the outstanding response to our first two portfolio releases this year, as well as broader freestanding investment campaigns — which have collectively seen approximately $250 million in assets transact — these national offerings present investors with a further opportunity to secure diversified, high-quality, long-term investments, supported by some of Australia’s most secure tenant covenants.”
Rorey James, Partner at Stonebridge, continued “In today’s current market, commercial property is proving to be a ‘safe haven’ for many investors, largely due to the long-term security and fixed income growth associated with these assets, which cannot be replicated in other investment vehicles. Recent share market volatility and the likelihood of interest rate reductions in the immediate term will only drive more people to real assets such as property as 2025 evolves, providing an opportune window to buy now.”
Stonebridge’s National Portfolio Auction will be held across dual venues in Melbourne and Sydney on Wednesday 21st May, with three standalone KFC assets headlining the list of Auctions, alongside childcare and tyre & auto investments. Remote bidding will be available in Brisbane, across Australia and internationally via Stonebridge’s web-based streaming platform. Various properties are available via Expressions of Interest campaigns closing between May 22 and May 29.
Stonebridge will release their Q1 report to the market later this week.
