The 726 sqm site has been listed via the Colliers team of Trent Gallagher and Edward McFarland.

HTL Property’s director of the Asia Pacific Region Andrew Jolliffe said the landscape for pubs and nightclubs tends to differ.
“The national transactional landscape has been very fertile, with multiple sales registered in SA, NSW and QLD already, and at a consolidated dollar value materially in excess of the same period last year; which of course was a record year for the industry at $2.2bn,” he said.

“Nightclub sales have been less prolific by comparison, albeit that is representative of the lower volume in operation, As a subset of the hospitality asset class however, nightclubs, cocktail bars and entertainment venues are enjoying substantially increased patronage based upon the relaxation of travel and safe distancing laws; and the return of entertainment driven socialising.”
Situated in the centre of Cronulla’s main retail strip, the 726 sqm site is located above a Woolworths supermarket and has an existing 3am liquor and nightclub license.

The former nightclub is situated on top of a Woolworths supermarket.
