New Raine & Horne commercial office enters Tamworth market

Regional towns such as Tamworth are squarely in the sights of commercial property investors. To meet growing demand, real estate agent Bryan Bolitho has launched Raine & Horne Commercial Tamworth.

Regional towns such as Tamworth are squarely in the sights of commercial property investors, and to meet this growing demand, a local real estate agent Bryan Bolitho has launched Raine & Horne Commercial Tamworth.
Raine & Horne Commercial Tamworth, which will operate from 239 Peel Street, Tamworth, will service the office, industrial and retail markets.
Mr Bolitho, who is also proprietor of leading residential property firm Raine & Horne Tamworth, says it is an excellent time to launch the new venture because the local commercial market is very healthy.
“Returns are solid because of the scarcity of available commercial properties for sale,” Mr Bolitho said. “The Tamworth CBD sells in the vicinity of 7% net yields, which is very good for a regional city.”
Industrial properties in particular are in short supply according to Raine & Horne Commercial Tamworth manager Bob Newlan, who has joined from a rival Tamworth commercial agency who is also well known locally from his stint as an executive with Prime TV. 
“The Industrial property precinct Taminda has exploded over the last five years. Where buyers were paying $40 to $50 per sqm, now it is possible pay $100 a sqm for near new industrial sites,” said Mr Newman, who indicated Tamworth is attracting increasing interest from Brisbane and Sydney-based investors.
On the retail front, space is available from $700 per sqm in Peel Street, which is a result of the scarcity of supply. Office space is also in short supply, which is underpinning values.
Mr Bolitho concedes there is a number of competitors in Tamworth’s commercial property market but there is also plenty of room for a new player.
“We will bring the professionalism and experience of Raine & Horne Commercial Tamworth to the commercial market and will deliver the highest level of service to investors, lessors and lessees.”
Angus Raine, CEO, Raine & Horne, says, “The new Raine & Horne Commercial Tamworth office is set to be a first-rate addition to our exceptional network of 30 offices across Australia. Our commercial arm is expanding rapidly and has opened commercial offices in Dee Why, Gosford and the Gold coast and will be opening in Bondi Junction, Homebush and the Sydney CBD by the end of this year. 
“Brian and Bob are well-known for their commitment to the local community,” says Mr Raine. “They will also promote Tamworth to investors as a more than worthy place to park some capital in the local office, industrial and retail markets.”
For all your commercial property needs contact Raine & Horne Commercial Tamworth on (02) 6766 2828.
Raine & Horne is an iconic Australian property firm, with more than 400 offices worldwide.
