Coles Group Property Developments has offloaded a two year old supermarket with a long leaseback in the south west Toowoomba suburb of Glenvale
The $27.4 million deal with a Melbourne private investor reflects a 5.2 per cent yield
considered tight given the rising interest rate backdrop
The lease agreement allows for turnover rent based on online sales
The incoming owner can also claim depreciation benefits for tax
Stewart Gilchrest and Dan Dwan were the agents
Glenvale is seven kilometres from the city centre
The deal comes three years since CGPD offloaded a Yarrabilba investment with a leaseback for $19.05m
the retail investment contains 3756 square metres – with one specialty store
Coles is on a leaseback expiring in just over nine years however
There are also 187 car parks (story continues below)
“Investors continue to target high performing supermarket and neighbourhood shopping centre investments given the supermarket lease structure affords investors a natural inflationary hedge due to the potential for supermarket turnover rental,” Mr Wilson said
The Glenvale complex was Queensland’s first sale and leaseback supermarket offering since 2021
Toowoomba is the country’s second biggest inland city
This is expected to grow by about 55,000 by 2051
“Toowoomba plays a significant role as a major economic and services provision hub for the Darling Downs,” Mr Dwan said
“Currently experiencing an influx of major infrastructure developments totalling more than $14 billion and ideally positioned 90 minutes from Brisbane
Toowoomba is expected to enjoy continued growth and enhanced competitive advantage in both commercial and residential markets,” he added
“Investment within the key region is key and has improved Toowoomba’s links to Brisbane and the global market,” according to the executive
“Highlights of this include The Wellcamp Airport

combines Harry Potter secret nooks with a vineyard
and old stables transformed into a guest cottage
Wellwood Manor at 43-45 Glenvale Rd also features a den with a bar and fireplace
The treats continue outdoors with the 7500sq m block having charming cottage gardens
The whole picture enables homebuyers to step back in time
Relax by one of the home’s many fireplaces
Hoskins Donvale director John Hoskins still has the yellowed receipts from when the home was built over a 15-20 period
even with a lot of old orchardists building here,” he said
“This house was a long time in the making and it was originally on possibly up to 4ha.”
Mr Hoskins said he’d known about Wellwood Manor for quite a while
and it was a thrill to see the three-level
There are two charming loft-style bedrooms on the third floor
“It has magnificent timber panelling and there are hidden
secret passageways where children could have play areas,” he said
“There is also magnificent garaging and separate self-contained guest quarters
“It’s something you could never recreate.”
The former stables are now a guest cottage
The small hobby vineyard is also expected to attract interest from homebuyers
Mr Hoskins said the vendor had planted the vines about 10-15 years ago and had local vintners pick and process the grapes
“He has a couple of dozen red wines made each year — good reds,” he said
“You couldn’t open your own winery with these vines but they’d be a good little hobby for someone who loves wine.”
A heated pool is just one of the property’s outdoor treats
With so many charming and special features on offer
Mr Hoskins said Wellwood Manor would suit a discerning buyer
“But it could suit someone with older kids
Offers close on the home at 5pm on Wednesday

Home » Archive » Europe » Two Irish Powerhouses Combine in Normandy
Flash Conroy (left) and Tim Hyde Jr | Zuzanna Lupa
The Hyde family's Camas Park Stud and Ciaran 'Flash' Conroy's Glenvale Stud combined forces for the first time at the 2016 Arqana August Yearling Sale and it proved to be an inspired move as they sold seven yearlings for in excess of €1.2 million
Their joint-consignment averaged €172,857 which comfortably exceeded the overall average for the sale
so it is little wonder that they return with a larger draft of 12 yearlings this weekend
explains why both operations came together at Deauville for the first time
“We always had various partnerships over the years and so it was a natural progression to combine forces at Arqana in order to run the consignment together
are better than one and it worked very well last year.”
“From a staff point of view it makes a lot of sense as well and it also helps from the logistics perspective of getting a draft of select yearlings from Ireland to France
It also means that we can then work together on the yearlings once we get there
The 12 yearlings travelled by boat via England
which is important to allow them to acclimatise to their new surroundings
and they start showing then from Thursday onwards
the number of yearlings bred at each farm means that it makes sense to spread the horses out across a number of sales
“Deauville has been an emerging force over the last few years and it's now a truly international sale so we felt it was important to be represented there
people like to go to Deauville and people like to buy there
Their recent graduate record has been exceptional
with the likes of Almanzour (Fr) (Wotton Basset {GB})
National Defense (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire})and Qemah (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) etc.
grabbing the headlines and this year's Epsom Derby winner Wings Of Eagles (Fr) (Pour Moi {Ire}) further solidified Arqana's reputation as a source of the finest yearlings.”
on 350 acres of prime limestone land in the shadow of Tipperary's iconic Rock Of Cashel
one's eye is instantly drawn to a superb portrait of Timmy's father Tim on Workman (Ire)
the Irish Champion Jockey won a Cheltenham Gold Cup and Timmy Hyde emulated his father at Prestbury Park when he won a Cathcart Chase on Kinlock Brae (Ire)
rode some 45 winners on the fiercely competitive Irish circuit
including the prestigious Champion Bumper at the Punchestown festival
so it's little wonder then that the home of such outstanding horsemen became synonymous with top-level racehorses on both sides of the Atlantic
No Nay Never and even Kentucky Derby winner Nyquist
who was bred by Camas Park's USA wing Summerhill Farm and sold as a weanling
Johannesburg was also pinhooked by the Hydes in the USA
while G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Carnegie (Ire) was raised at Camas Park and sold privately from the farm to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum
This year has seen another stellar season for Camas Park Stud
with highlights so far coming via the globe-trotting Highland Reel (Ire) (Galileo {Ire})
his full-bother Idaho (Ire)) (Galileo {Ire})
Irish Derby winner Capri (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and and Joseph O'Brien's first Epsom Derby runner
the Group 2 winner Rekindling (GB) (High Chaparral {Ire})
The seeds for the relationship between Camas Park Stud and famed Irish horseman Flash Conroy's Glenvale Stud were not simply sown last year
as like most successful partnerships in the horse business
the roots of this particular tree run deep
Timmy Hyde had made a name for himself as a renowned pinhooker of foals and Camas Park Stud was the perfect place for a young Conroy to cut his teeth in the horse business
'Flash' takes up the story: “I worked for Camas Park Stud in the 1980s and we had some great years
I was very lucky to learn my trade with Timmy and I was with him when he bought a Shergar colt in 1983 for what was then a European record price for a foal [325,000gns]
he set a further European record as yearling when he was sold for 3.1million gns
he proceeded to Classic success in the Irish St Leger [and he followed that up with two Group 1 wins in Australia via the Underwood S
I dealt with so many good horses at the time
Conroy went on to explain how his formative years with Hyde helped him make a name for himself in the industry
“I have a huge respect for Timmy and he's been a big influence on my career
He was very good to me and he kindly shared his knowledge with me when I worked for him and then he helped me when I started off my own business too
We became very good friends and we've been involved in various partnerships over the last 20 years or so.”
Conroy established Glenvale Stud in 1990 and since then he has amassed an enviable graduate list of his own with recent Group or Grade 1 winners including The Last Lion (Ire) (Choisir {Aus})
The Wow Signal (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus})
Magic Hurricane (Ire) (Hurricane Run {Ire}) and Leading Light (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in addition to Royal Ascot Group 2 winners Telescope (Ire) (Galileo {Ire})
Thomas Chippendale (Ire) (Dansili {GB}) and Waterloo Bridge (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire})
This week's G2 Prix Guillaume d'Ornano winner Eminent (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) has kept Glenvale Stud's name in lights this season
as has last Sunday's Curragh G3 Phoenix Sprint winner Washington DC (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire})
“It's great that after all these years we can both consign yearlings together at Arqana and it worked out very well last year
We have a very nice bunch of horses again for this weekend and I'm looking forward to seeing how they get on” adds Conroy
Among the draft's highlights at Arqana this weekend are lot 85
a New Approach (Ire) three-parts-brother to the brilliant but ill-fated dual Group 2 winner Permian (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire})
who was only just touched off by a nose in the G1 Juddmonte Grand Prix de Paris at Saint-Cloud
describes him as “a lovely horse from the family of Miesque
big strong horse with great quality and action”
Camas Park & Glenvale Studs also consign one of only two Scat Daddy yearlings in the select sale. The son of GI Yellow Ribbon S. runner-up Flip Flop (Fr) (Zieten) (lot 155) is a half-brother to 2017 stakes winner Qurbaan from the family of Japanese Derby winner Deep Brillante (Jpn)
“Qurbaan has been a consistently decent horse in France for Francoise Rohaut winning five times already including stakes races at two and another this year as a 3-year-old
This Scat Daddy is a very nice yearling that is typical of his sire,” Hyde Jnr
the latest Group 1-winning Scat Daddy juvenile
winner Sioux Nation
is out of a grand-daughter of Green Desert and this colt is bred along similar lines
being out of a grand-daughter of Green Desert's sire Danzig
He continues, “Our Galileo (Ire) filly (lot 84) is a half-sister to a Royal Ascot-winning 2-year-old in Big Audio (Ire) and a full-sister to a Group 2 winner–who also won at the Royal meeting–from the family of G1 Prix de l'Abbaye winner Gilt Edge Girl (GB)
