HAWTHORN EAST - $2.7 million
A vacant Melbourne office/warehouse building at 31 Hall Street in Hawthorn East, has sold for $2.7 million to a local investor who plans to lease the space to a new healthcare tenant.
Sandro Peluso, one of the CBRE agents responsible for the sale commented on the demand for medical and child care operators in the area “particularly in light of the growing number of office developments in the area.”
Mr Peluso added: “It also aligns with the area’s ongoing gentrification, with Domain Group last year reporting that the median house price in Hawthorn East had almost doubled over five years, which is having a flow on effect in the commercial sector.”
The sale was handled by CBRE's Sandro Peluso, Josh Twelftree and Jimmy Tat.
