Ms Dooley said Sequel PR would lease the building back for three years with an option for another three-year extension after that. “We’re not going anywhere,” she told Property Confidential.
Robert Dunne and Will Carman of Savills – Brisbane had set the property to sell under the hammer. Mr Dunne confirmed the property was snapped up prior to auction.
The 419sq m, two-level office building has 11 car-parking bays with net income after all building outgoings at $205,000 per annum.
The sale comes months after Ms Dooley sold a Beaudesert commercial “shed” for $1.018m in June, according to CoreLogic. It housed a 170sq m warehouse on a 1,017sq m corner block.
