Bar Broadway Hotel, Chippendale

Bill Young has secured the Bar Broadway Hotel, a Sydney city fringe hospitality asset. Equipped with 28 gaming machines, a 24-hour hotel licence with a 3-hour shutdown, a bar, and two levels that feature 36 accommodation beds, Bar Broadway is a legitimate entertainment repository. The sale included both the freehold and the leasehold interests of the hotel, for the first time in nearly two decades; the freehold was offered by Jenni Halpin, whilst the leasehold was held by Kasajumi Holdings. The 1,696 sqm site was acquired with DA for the construction of 61 oversized residential apartments and 861 sqm of ground floor retail/commercial accommodation. The former home to acclaimed restaurant Golden Century has been sold to developer Anson Group. The four-storey, 708 sqm property is expected to be redeveloped in the long term, with retail, office and accommodation possibilities being floated. For the time being, the developer will likely lease out the vacant space. Located in a sought-after precinct in Sydney’s northern market, the 1.57-hectare 22 Narabang Way has been acquired. Comprised of 4,788 sqm in gross lettable area, the investment “represents another strategic acquisition for Pittwater Industrial, and adds to [their] portfolio of quality assets,” according to the group. The seven-storey A-Grade commercial office and retail complex has a total net lettable area of 9,171.6 sqm, and sits on a 3,754.7 sqm landholding. Fully leased and possessing a 5.0 Star NABERS Energy Rating, the listing was a popular one, generating more than 80 enquiries. The 1,012 sqm site was sold with development approval and a construction certificate in place for a 45-place childcare centre. The final figure represents a land rate of $65,555 per childcare place, further illustrating the investor appetite for quality ELC assets. The site at 35D Sefton Road is comprised of 1,402 sqm in land area, and carries development approval for a 71-place early learning childcare centre. The sales value represents $53,592 outlaid per place. Sydney’s Sir Stamford at Circular Quay has been divested by Stamford Land Corporation to private principal investment firm JDH Capital via an exercisable option agreement between the two organisations. The hotel is a 1,631 sqm freehold 10-storey hotel that contains 105 bedrooms, a restaurant, bar, roof-top fitness centre, a pool, and parking for 109 cars. The 852 sqm landholding is considered a gateway site at the entry point of Lane Cove Village, and contains 27 gaming machines in conjunction with a 3am trading approval, enabling it to produce weekly revenue in excess of $160,000. The freehold passive investment pub enjoys annual rent of approximately $273,498, and the current lease has 20 years remaining. The purchaser, a local investor, is attracted to the stability of the investment, as well as the 10 gaming entitlements afforded by the site.
