Australian commercial property investment opportunities with higher yields in 2026

Why Smart Investors Are Making Their Move Now

If you’re earning 3-4% on residential property while watching commercial assets deliver 6-7%, it’s clear that you’re leaving money on the table. 

The year 2025 taught us that residential property investment returns are no longer sufficient or satisfactory. Commercial property finance is here to get you into the Australian commercial property market, and we’re sure investors are paying attention. 

Stronger yields, longer leases, and better tenant quality are drawing investors away from the ‘residential-only’ portfolios. However, ‘how to finance my commercial property investment’ remains one of the most common questions asked. 

VOXFIN’s commercial finance specialists bring 25+ years of combined experience to help you secure the right commercial property loan – faster.

Why Commercial Property Is Going to Outperform in 2026

The fundamentals are strong across multiple sectors.

Industrial Still Dominates

Warehouses, distribution centres, and logistics hubs continue thriving thanks to e-commerce growth and supply chain expansion.

Office Markets Stabilising

Return-to-office momentum is supporting the values of metropolitan and suburban offices. Buyers are returning with confidence.

Essential Services Stay Strong

Medical suites, childcare centres, and neighbourhood retail strips attract investors seeking stable, long-term tenants.

Regional Opportunities

Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Geelong, Adelaide outskirts, and WA regional centres offer higher yields than major capitals.

The Numbers Don’t Lie – Commercial vs Residential Property Investment

Higher Yields

Commercial – Typical returns are 5.5-7%

Residential – Typical returns are under 4%

Moreover, commercial tenants often cover the costs of rates, insurance, and maintenance.

Longer Leases

3-5 year commercial leases vs 6-12 months residential. 

More stability, less turnover, means predictable income.

Better Tenants

Commercial tenants maintain properties because their business depends on them. 

Less wear and tear, thus fewer management headaches.

Portfolio Diversification

Stop relying solely on residential markets. 

Commercial assets that spread risk and create passive income streams are ideal for SMSFs.

Clear LVR Guidance

Loan-to-value ratios (LVR) vary by asset type. General commercial properties allow higher LVRs. Specialised assets (childcare, cold storage) need larger deposits. VOXFIN provides upfront clarity so you can plan confidently.

Common Triggers for Commercial Property Finance

Recognising the common triggers early can help you act before the competition heats up. Generally, investors seek commercial finance when –

  • Expanding or relocating their business
  • Stopping rent payments as owner-occupiers
  • Diversifying after residential market gains
  • Refinancing to secure better loan terms
  • Building SMSF income strategies
