Iconic Maclean Commercial Landmark to Be Sold at Auction - 2
A rare opportunity to secure one of Maclean's most recognisable commercial properties is set to unfold, with 213 River Street, Maclean to be offered for sale at auction on 29 July 2026.
Occupying a prime position in the heart of Maclean's thriving main street, this landmark property enjoys exceptional exposure and a commanding presence. Set on approximately 366sqm, the building boasts extensive street frontage with expansive glass display windows, ensuring maximum visibility for any retail, professional, or service-based business.
Known for generations as the iconic "Mackellys" department store, the property holds a special place in the town's commercial history, having successfully served the local community for decades. Now, a new chapter awaits as this tightly held asset comes to market for the first time in decades.
Recently enhanced with a brand-new roof and flashings, the property offers peace of mind for incoming owners, while new air-conditioning systems throughout provide year-round comfort. Inside, the building extends approximately 33 metres in depth, delivering a substantial and versatile retail floor space capable of accommodating a wide range of business ventures.
Supporting the main retail area are practical back-of-house facilities, including a kitchenette, storage room, two changing rooms, and a powder room, creating a functional environment for day-to-day operations. Further enhancing accessibility, the property benefits from off-street parking for two vehicles and valuable rear lane access via Centenary Drive.
Offered to the market with vacant possession, this is an outstanding opportunity for owner-operators seeking a prominent business address, or investors looking to secure a high-profile commercial asset in one of the Northern Rivers' most tightly held townships.
Often compared to the relationship between Bangalow and Byron Bay, Maclean continues to benefit from its close connection to nearby Yamba while maintaining its own distinct character and strong local economy. A stroll through the town centre reveals a vibrant mix of established retailers, cafes, and professional services, underpinning ongoing demand and long-term growth prospects.
Opportunities to acquire commercial holdings of this calibre and historical significance are exceptionally rare. With auction day set for 29 July 2026, interested parties are encouraged to act promptly and secure their place in Maclean's next chapter.
