CBRE’s Healthcare & Social Infrastructure team has successfully leased a premium multi-level child care facility in Murrumbeena to Inspire Early Learning Journey – quashing last year’s oversupply concerns.
The specialist team, including Sandro Peluso, Josh Twelftree, Jimmy Tat and Marcello Caspani-Muto, negotiated the transaction at a starting annual figure of $399,500 on 20-year lease deal, with further options.
Less than 1km from Chadstone Shopping Centre, the property at 1210-1212 Dandenong Road is also located to capture demand from families based in Oakleigh and Bentleigh.
With basement parking of 578sqm and a proposed building area of 652sqm, the deal was struck at a rate of $4,250 per permitted place.
The off-the-plan centre is permitted to accept 94 child care placements.
Sandro Peluso commented; “The sector has been starved of well-located opportunities, be it from a sales or leasing perspective, over the past 6-12 months.”
“Strategically positioned centres in positively demographically supported areas have always remained highly sought after by the state’s leading operators,” Mr Peluso said.
Mr Twelftree added; “Most operators our team deals with have either maintained strong levels of occupancy or continue to see upticks in occupancy for new centres, despite recent media around the sector.”
“The implementation of the new child care subsidy, which began coming into play later last year, is now in full effect and has had some very positive effects for operators nationwide,” Mr Twelftree said.
The new tenant is a Montessori Long Day Care and Kindergarten with 20 years of experience in the Early Years sector.
