The Collings Commercial Property Investment Hub is the central resource for Australian investors and SMSF trustees seeking commercial property exposure in 2026. It covers every commercial asset class — industrial, office, retail, medical, childcare and specialised — with live GeeVee data, investment guides, SMSF eligibility information and access to off-market commercial opportunities through the Collings portal.
Industrial and Warehouse
Australia’s strongest performing commercial sector over the past 5 years. E-commerce and supply chain localisation have driven vacancy rates below 2% in Melbourne’s industrial precincts. Gross yields range from 5.5% to 8.5%. SMSF eligible with commercial LRBA even after the 2026 residential borrowing ban.
Medical Centres
Government-backed tenants on long leases (8-15 years) make medical centre investments one of the most reliable commercial income streams. Gross yields 5.0-7.5%. Strong demand driven by Australia’s ageing population and Medicare incentives.
Retail and Neighbourhood Centres
Neighbourhood retail anchored by supermarkets and pharmacies has proven resilient. Strip retail in inner-Melbourne suburbs like Preston High Street and Sydney Road Brunswick has rebounded strongly. Gross yields 5.0-8.0%.
SMSF Commercial Property After the 2026 Borrowing Ban
The 2026 residential borrowing ban does not affect commercial property LRBA arrangements. SMSFs can still borrow to buy commercial property through a properly structured Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement. This makes commercial property one of the most powerful SMSF strategies in 2026.
