How does Sims Avenue price?
Street figures cover strata deals only — land and strata PSF are not comparable.
What do commercial rents run near 139 Sims Avenue?
Indicative area yield — District 14 retail
An INDICATIVE AREA yield for District 14 retail — NOT this building's yield, and not any unit's. Commercial rents are published as a district percentile grid, so both halves describe the district.
Priced on STRATA sales only: rent is quoted per unit of lettable area, and commercial land PSF runs far above strata — mixing them would shift the ratio sharply.
Net deducts the 10% non-residential property tax ONLY — not vacancy, maintenance, agent fees, financing, or the 9% GST on purchase.
