Most-viewed: Industrial sites, warehouses and a massage parlour tickle visitors’ fancy
A fully-tenanted massage parlour near Newcastle with parking at the rear attracted clicks galore last week, securing the title as one of Australia’s most-viewed commercial listings.
The 95sqm shopfront and adjoining residential unit on the Pacific Highway at Belmont is being offered for sale for $575,000, with estimated annual income of $27,000.
In addition, a New York-esque warehouse with timber floors, exposed beams and 13m-high ceilings in the heritage-listed Cotton Mills building in Footscray attracted significant interest in Victoria.
Industrial sites and warehouse listings proved popular in last week’s commercial listings on realcommercial.com.au. In the Northern Territory seven of the top 10 fitted this category and six of the 10 most-viewed properties in South Australia were warehouses.
