Burgess Rawson associate Dean Venturato said 200-208 North Street had been bought by an investor/developer with plans to develop the surplus land at the rear of the property.

"It was a price that the vendors thought was attractive and they decided to sell ahead of today's scheduled auction," he said on Wednesday.

"(It) reflects a net return of 7.9 per cent per annum."

Conjunctional agent Andrew Dixon, of LJ Colquhoun Dixon described the sale as "an outstanding result for the vendor".

Providing annual rental income of about $504,000, the site opposite Lauren Jackson Sports Centre has 10 tenants, including AWM Electrical, Albury Steel Fabricators, Zone Laser Tag Albury and Albury Skating Centre.
