'High-profile' Bathurst Street site stays local despite national interest

The investor paid $3,255,000 for the corner block housing Another Computer Store and Trailers Tasmania.

The site looks across from the ever-expanding hospital precinct.

Selling agent Blake Shepherd, of Shepherd and Heap Commercial, said a shortage of large landholdings in the city had prompted considerable interest in the 2344 square metre site.

"[There's] a lack of larger-scale stock in the market for bulky goods type uses," he said.

"When you look around the city there really isn't much of that stock available for sale or lease - the latest we've seen is the First Choice Liquor tenancy.

"It's a very, very high-profile corner of course - we all know, we've all driven past it, so it has a strong future."

Mr Shepherd said the sale process had involved bids from national brands.
