Motor industry interests snapped up separate Gold Coast properties this month.

The Bundall property last traded in 1986.

In the biggest deal, ASX listed Autosports Group Limited has paid $17.6 million for three neighbouring, freestanding Southport offices leased to Centrelink until January, 2028.

Improvements spread 4042 sqm. There are also 133 car parks – 103 undercover.

The site is zoned Priority Development Precinct 1, with unlimited height restrictions for a residential or residential based mixed-use complex.

Based on the current net rent, the deal is being struck at a 4.97 per cent yield.

Colliers’ Steven King with Crawford Property’s James Crawford were the agents. Settlement is scheduled October.
