Juniper group to sell 38 retail lots in Mooloolaba

The developer of the collapsed Soul Development in Surfers Paradise, Juniper Group, has listed lots in five retail properties in Mooloolaba as part of a massive portfolio sale.

Juniper Group will be selling $100 million of retail property across Queensland following the appointment of receivers to its Soul development.

"The directors have decided to take their retail portfolio, valued in the vicinity of $100 million, to the market," a company spokesperson told The Australian.

"A big proportion is property along the Mooloolaba Esplanade, Mooloolaba, and they will sell commercial and retail property in north Queensland."

Juniper Group has listed 38 lots in Mooloolaba worth about $30 million. Collectively they earn more than $3 million in rent per year.

The retail shops are all close to the beach in Mooloolaba. Four are on Mooloolaba Esplanade and one is on River Esplanade.

All the lots were built by Juniper since 1997.

Zanzibar retail is a series of 14 shops that are up for sale in one line or individually. Fully leased they earn $1.55 million in rent per year. The arcade comes with outdoor licensed areas.

Built in 1999, the shops in Zanzibar range from 45 square metres to 156 square metres.

The site value, accessed by the Queensland state government, is $9,300,000 as at June 30, 2012.

The most lucrative tenancy in the development is a 121-square-metre shop leased to Yoghurt World for $242,000.

Aside from the ATM tenants, which pay around $12,000 per year each, the highest rent per square metre in the building is paid by Déjà vu Café &Bar, which pays $2,794 per square metre.
