Yass McDonald’s Up for Grabs

Perth, April 9: A rare McDonald’s investment opportunity has hit the market in regional New South Wales, with McDonald’s Yass being offered for sale under an unusual lease structure that gives the landlord 6.5 cents from every dollar spent at the restaurant.
The asset, at 1713 Yass Valley Way, is being marketed by JLL via an expressions of interest campaign.
What sets the property apart is its legacy “Partner” lease, one of the last remaining pure turnover leases in McDonald’s Australia’s portfolio.
Unlike standard lease arrangements with fixed annual increases, this structure allows the owner to benefit directly from the restaurant’s sales performance, giving the asset uncapped rental growth potential.
McDonald’s Yass has recorded compounded annual sales growth of 4.26 per cent since 2003, while rental income from the lease has risen 150 per cent over the same period.
JLL said the property also offers long-term security, with a brand-new lease that runs to 2036 and four further 10-year options extending to 2076.
The site spans 3,571 sqm and includes a purpose-built 495 sqm restaurant operating 24/7, with dine-in, takeaway, a single-lane drive-through, 25 tables and six self-serve kiosks.
It sits on the Hume Highway in Yass, alongside a 24-hour Ampol Super Centre and KFC, capturing heavy freight and commuter traffic between Sydney and Melbourne.
David Mahood, Senior Executive at JLL Retail Investments – NSW, said, “McDonald’s Yass offers something truly unique in the Australian market – the chance to become a genuine Partner with McDonald’s and participate directly in the sales growth of one of the world’s most powerful consumer brands. This is a triple net lease with no operational risk, no capital expenditure obligations, and no management complexity. You receive 6.5 cents of every dollar spent at the restaurant, uncapped and unlimited.”
“The brand-new lease has just commenced and expires in 2036, with four further 10-year options extending to 2076, providing an attractive 9.92-year WALE by income and exceptional long-term security. With McDonald’s no longer offering pure turnover leases to the market, this represents an extremely rare opportunity to acquire an irreplaceable lease structure that delivers uncapped income growth rising in lockstep with consumer price increases – a natural inflation hedge that fixed review leases simply cannot replicate,” he added.
McDonald’s Yass is being offered for sale via an expressions of interest campaign closing at 3pm AEST on Thursday, April 30, 2026.
