Three city-centre multilet retail investments are fresh to the market this week with Savills guiding €3.5 million for the portfolio which is for sale by private treaty on behalf of receiver Kieran Wallace.
The investments are at locations off Parnell Street, Dublin 1, and Patrick and Dean Street, Dublin 8. Should the portfolio sell for the guide price the purchaser can secure a net initial yield of 10.39 per cent.
There are 11 retail units in the portfolio and 10 of these are subject to tenancies with a weighted average unexpired lease term of 6.4 years. The shops, one of which is vacant, offer 1,235sq m (13,296sq ft) of retail space and currently generate a rent roll of €380,014.
