ABBOTSFORD - $10 million
The Carlton Brewhouse in Abbotsford has recently sold for $10 million to a local-based, Chinese investor.

COOMERA, QLD & YOUNG, NSW - $76.1 million
Charter Hall Retail REIT have divested from two of their lower growth assets, Coomera Square shopping Mall on the Gold Coast and a Woolworths in Young (a regional town in NSW).
Coomera Square was secured by a property syndicate, whilst the Woolworths property was purchased by Melbourne-based Gerry Angelatos of Dome Property Development Group.
In a statement released by Charter Hall, the decision to sell is part of a greater strategy to “divest smaller assets and recycle capital into centres which are the dominant convenience based offers in their respective catchments.”
NOOSA - $4 million
A four-bedroom home, designed by Tim Ditchfield, at 31 Pelican Street, Peregian Beach sold for $4 million, a record for the suburb. This sale is just one of a suite of new prestige-design homes achieving record prices.
“It speaks for itself. We didn’t need to do much of a sell on that one, the buyer had been following Ditchfield and this was his favourite design.” Century 21 agent Rachel Sellman said.
Rarity of high-end property along within the Sunshine Coast and long lead time on new builds has been attributed to this jump in sale results.
Ms Sellam and colleague Mike Hay managed the sale.
