HTL Property Achieves 80% Market Share in CY2025 Sydney CBD & City Fringe Pub Transactions with $300m of Sales Delivered So Far

Leading national specialist hotel brokerage firm, HTL Property, is proud to announce the successful sale of The Redfern Hotel, marking another major transaction in what has been a record-setting year for the boutique agency.

The off-market sale of The Redfern Hotel, underpinned by its prime inner-city location, strong trading performance, and benefitting from a significant capital works program recently undertaken; underscores ongoing investor confidence in the Sydney pub market, particularly in key metropolitan fringe locations with strong demographic growth and revitalisation initiatives either undertaken or readily available to prosecute.

HTL Property was exclusively retained by the property’s highly regarded Vendors; led by industry identity Martin Short; and the successful transaction was concluded with an established local private hotelier family. “The Redfern Hotel is one of the city’s most recognisable venues, with a rich heritage and a strong following” advised HTL Property Director, Sam Handy.

“We’re thrilled to have exclusively advised on such a material transaction; and one that highlights the continued depth of buyer demand for top-tier Sydney hospitality assets” added HTL Property National Pubs Director, Dan Dragicevich.

The Redfern Hotel sale adds to HTL Property’s commanding position in the Sydney CBD and city fringe pub markets, where the firm has successfully transacted in excess of 80% of all pub sales in 2025 by volume and value. This milestone cements HTL’s market leadership and deep expertise across both on-market campaigns and discreet offmarket transactions.

“Our unmatched market share is a direct reflection of the highly valued trust placed in us by vendors and buyers alike; and noting the symbiotic nature of that three-way reconciliation of sorts” advised HTL Property Managing Director, Andrew Jolliffe.

“In an increasingly complex transactional environment, HTL’s results are a testament to our focus, experience, and frankly, intellectual property reserves” Jolliffe concluded.

With a robust pipeline of upcoming campaigns and sale announcements, combined with the unsatisfied appetite from both private and institutional investors, HTL expects this momentum to continue well into 2026.

The successful transaction of The Redfern Hotel by HTL Property, complements the market leading agency’s recent sale announcements for the following Sydney pubs: Crystal Palace Hotel and Agincourt Hotel (City Central), Union Hotel, Billy Barry’s and Fire House Hotel (all in North Sydney), Rose, Shamrock and Thistle (Paddington), Kurrajong Hotel (Erskineville), Town Hall Hotel and East Village Hotel (Balmain). HTL Property is currently in the process of selling the popular Warren View Hotel in the inner-city Sydney suburb of Enmore.
