What has Robinson Suites sold for?

Key takeaway4 transactions are on record since 1995, most recently in Dec 2010 — too few to support a median, so the deals themselves are listed instead.

Key takeawayNo rent is published for Robinson Suites itself. On its street, Robinson Road, office space rented at a median of $8.80 psf a month in 2026Q3, with the middle half of leases between $7.51 and $10.00. That is not this building's own rent, and never a quote for a particular unit.

What do commercial rents run near Robinson Suites?

Key takeawayURA publishes contracted-rent percentile grids quarterly (latest: 2026Q3) — the benchmark evidence an asking rent should be weighed against.

Indicative area yield — District 1 retail

Gross yield (area)
3.4%
3.0% net of property tax
Rent side (median of bands)
$107.81 psm/mo
2026Q3
Price side (strata, 5y)
$3,561 psf
90 sales

An INDICATIVE AREA yield for District 1 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.
