Convenience retail remains one of the darlings of Australia’s challenged retail market, with commercial property seekers scoping a Queensland property leased to 7-Eleven in droves.

The service station at 7005 Mount Juillerat Drive, Redbank Plains is being auctioned later this month and was among the top five most-viewed Queensland properties on Realcommercial over the past week.

Leased to 7-Eleven on a brand new 12-year agreement, the property is is located next to a soon-to-be opened McDonald’s and is in one of the state’s major growth areas, with a 151% population boom expected by 2041.

But investors aren’t limiting their vision when it comes to searching for opportunities, with four asset classes featuring amongst this week’s top listings.

Here are the other properties making waves in the Sunshine State.

The property includes 16 motel rooms, three two-bedroom villas and a three-bedroom manager’s residence, set on an almost 4000sqm block spread over three titles.
