The Terrace Central Shopping Centre at Raymond Terrace, north of Newcastle, has sold for $33.5 million to Panthera Property Group on a passing initial yield of 6.55 percent.

David Mathews, JLL’s Director, Sales & Investments, New South Wales, said Terrace Central generated significant interest from a range of investors such as institutions, syndicators and private investors.

“We continue to see institutions divesting assets within their portfolio which are non-core to their investment strategy," he said.

"Conversely, private investors, syndicates and boutique funds management groups are seeking to grow their exposure to the tightly-held neighbourhood shopping centre sector.

“JLL has recorded just 17 neighbourhood transactions in Australia so far in 2017 totalling $381.1 million, but only 5 have been in NSW - including Terrace Central.

“The market has been somewhat stock constrained, and investors are broadening the range of assets under consideration in terms of risk profile,” said Mr Mathews, who worked in conjunction with Queensland Retail Investments Sam Hatcher and Jacob Swan."
