After 40 years on the job, the multi-generational Yang family has passed their beloved Bexley North Hotel to the Feros brothers’ JDA Collective.
The Hotel, found directly opposite Bexley North train station, provides public bar, bistro, gaming room with 30 machines consistently ranked for the past five years in the Top 100 in NSW, drive-through bottleshop and 18 accommodation rooms, with a 4am licence.
It benefits from its accessibility and visibility, adjacent to a large council car park and Woolworths-anchored retail strip, generating annual revenue across departments of more than $11 million.
The 4,234sqm site also benefits from its mixed-use zoning, providing genuine development potential.
John and Dean Feros grew up in Kogarah and feel they know the area and the work of the Yang family well.
“They’ve been good to the local crowd, and we believe we can continue with that ethos,” John says.
There was previously gateway approval for a significant development on the site, and while Feros says they are “very excited” about what represents a strategic addition to the portfolio, they see opportunity to build on existing revenue channels and stress that it, like all JDA venues, will be a balanced business with plenty of emphasis on f&b.
“We love the idea of developing the site,” continues John. “That was a big part of what made it so appealing.
“We’ll look at that, particularly potential to maintain the hotel but also develop part of the site for significant accommodation or residential space.”
Michael Yang has owned the pub since the early 80s, his son Trevor licensee in recent years, and the sale marks the conclusion of a long tenure.
“Our family is proud to have established the pub as a family-friendly venue at the heart of the community, and we believe JDA will continue to uphold our same values,” offered Trevor.
The off-market sale for $70 million represents the second-largest Sydney pub deal of 2026 to date.
Selling agents, JLL Hotels’ Kate MacDonald and Ben McDonald, say it further underscores the depth of capital demand in the market, particularly for assets boasting such strong investment fundamentals.
“Single-asset family owners who’ve held premier venues for decades are becoming exceptionally rare, and when these opportunities do emerge, they command significant attention from a decisive and highly motivated pool of buyers,” says MacDonald.
