Major Richmond site served up for commercial developers and land bankers

The former Peter’s Ice Cream Factory at Richmond has been listed for sale in a move tipped to generate interest from major commercial developers and land bankers.

CBRE’s City Sales and Development Sites teams have been appointment to market the 120-128 Murphy Street property, which is known as Richmond House.

CBRE’s Julian White, Lewis Tong, David Minty and Chao Zhang will steer the sale campaign for the property which is being sold with a current annual net rental of $1,050,000.

The 4,926sqm, dual-frontage site is zoned for commercial development.

“We expect the campaign to generate interest from major commercial office developers, as well as land bankers, keen to secure a parcel of land only three kilometres from the Melbourne CBD and one street back from Richmond’s Bridge Road retail and commercial strip,” Mr White said. 

“Vacancy rates in the city fringe office market are the lowest in Melbourne given the lack of modern, high quality office accommodation coupled with changing work place demands, meaning tenants are actively accommodating their employees’ desire to work in more accessible locations.”

Mr White added that increasing tenant demand had also led to a marked increase in land prices for commercial zoned land in Melbourne’s inner-city markets.

“Four to five years ago, land prices in Cremorne were around the $4,000/sqm mark, however we’re now consistently achieving rates of $12,000/sqm to $13,000/sqm,” Mr White said.

“This is having a flow on affect in surrounding precincts such as Richmond, with the Get Wines Direct Store on the corner of Murphy Street and Burnley Street achieving a sale price well in excess of $7,000/sqm in late 2018.”

CBRE’s Mr Tong noted that Melbourne developer Peregrine Projects had also recently been awarded a nine-level office permit for a Richmond project, with pre-commitments currently being sought.

“This market activity is a clear sign that a diverse range of buyers are actively targeting sites in Richmond for commercial office development,” Mr Tong said.

Buyer interest in 120-128 Murphy Street is expected to be from the mid $20 million range.
