Burgess Rawson director Raoul Holderhead said the auction would provide a telling indication of the state of the commercial property market nationally.
"If someone had told us four weeks ago that we would have 17 properties of this calibre, we wouldn't have believed it," he said.
"Burgess Rawson's auctions are always the market's barometer, and never more so than this time around."
