The centre was secured by a Victorian private investor that was attracted to the region based on both its economic and population growth.

James Wilson, Stewart Gilchrist and Dan Dwan of Colliers sold the property on behalf of Coles.

“Coles Toowoomba’s 200 campaign enquiries highlights the market depth for high-performing supermarket investments under the current conditions. Competitive bidding from predominantly local and interstate private investors resulted in the highest price ever paid for a Queensland non-metro supermarket investment reflecting the quality of the Coles net lease covenant,” Mr Wilson said.

‘The Coles Toowoomba campaign highlights the strong buyer depth for QLD supermarket investments which are highly sought due to their defensive characteristics. It was the first sale and lease back supermarket investment marketed in QLD since 2021, highlighting the pent-up demand for this asset class,” Mr Gilchrist added.

The 1.536-hectare site has recorded strong sales due to its strategic location in Toowoomba’s Western Growth Corridor, and convenient design which includes ‘on grade’ parking for 187 vehicles.

Toowoomba is the second most populous inland city in the nation and is a large commercial hub that provides education, employment and healthcare services to the region.

“The sale signifies the continued upwards trajectory of Toowoomba’s investment appeal.  Local and interstate investment interest in the region remains strong given the underlying economic factors which provide a great deal of confidence and stability in the Toowoomba market. These factors coupled with the tight supply of stock has increased market competition, generating positive results,” Mr Dwan said.

With a GLA of 3,756sqm, the centre was delivered by Coles Group Property Developments and features high quality construction, offering exceptional depreciation benefits.
