National agencies Burgess Rawson and HTL Property are set auction Brisbane’s famed Royal Exchange Hotel for sale in the established river suburb of Toowong. Glenn Price, Brent McCarthy of HTL together with Michael Gilbert and Glenn Conridge of Burgess Rawson will be handling the sale.

With a long term triple net* lease to newly listed entity the Endeavour Group (ASX:EDV) until 2068 (inc options); the popular Brisbane watering hole is set across 2453sqm of very valuable commercial property, and is the basis upon which Endeavour Group currently operates 3 retail bottle shop outlets and one of the State's most famous beer gardens and sports bar.

“The Royal Exchange Hotel is a highly regarded suburban hotel operation and the stability offered by having the nation’s largest hoteliers as its listed tenants is a compelling proposition” advised HTL Property Director, Glenn Price.

With the national market having set an FY21 record at $1.5bn in sales, investment grade opportunities with covenants the quality of Endeavour Group have been seldom offered. However, when they have, as was the case earlier this year in the form of the successful sale of Qld's Pelican Waters Hotel, Edinburgh Castle Hotel, Kedron Park Hotel and The Noosa Reef Hotel; the results have illustrated the willingness of the market to secure high grade opportunities.

"The most recent transactional evidence in the form of the sale of both Queensland and Victorian based assets divested by ALE, has delivered a blended yield of 4.4%” advised Michael Gilbert of Burgess Rawson.

“In terms of this asset class, the unparalleled nature of the tenant, the scarcity of investment grade acquisition opportunities; and the undisputed quality of the Brisbane hotel being sold indicate to us a replication of keen interest is expected" Gilbert added.

Offering a 25 year triple net* lease to 2028 * (excludes land tax) with 4 x 10 year options to 2068 and a current net income of $562,715; The Royal Exchange Hotel enjoys close proximity to the Brisbane CBD, Southbank precinct, Private and Public Hospitals and Universities.
