Colliers has sold 4 commercial properties at auction in East Tamaki, Onehunga & Takapuna in the last 2 days.

The East Tamaki warehouse was sold at a sub-4% yield, and the other 3 all had complicated stories to tell.

The Onehunga Mall property (outlined in picture above looking towards the Manukau Harbour) – 2 adjoining buildings with some retail frontage on a side street – has upstairs vacancy and was offered as a prospect for refurbishment or redevelopment.

In Takapuna, the 2 properties on Barrys Point Rd & one on Bracken Avenue were put forward with earnings potential double the present income.

The East Tamaki auction on Tuesday attracted strong bidding. All 3 auctions yesterday were protracted, with multiple bidders but pressure on the vendor to reduce the reserve.
