Western Vascular Services secures prime spot at new Footscray hospital precinct

Western Vascular Services is set to open a new clinic at the new Footscray Hospital after securing a ~400sqm lease. This commitment brings a vital specialist presence to Victoria's largest health infrastructure project, enabling the practice to provide key vascular care to the growing community in Melbourne's west.

The lease agreement was finalised following a competitive Expressions of Interest campaign by CBRE’s Australian Healthcare & Social Infrastructure team in collaboration with Plenary Health.

The clinic is scheduled to open in early 2026 and will play a crucial role in the hospital's healthcare precinct, joining other healthcare providers already committed to the consulting building.

With this latest commitment, the CBRE team is now actively seeking a specialist operator to fill the only remaining 1,600sqm on Level 3 of the precinct's consulting building. This represents a unique opportunity to secure a significant footprint alongside other leading healthcare providers and benefit from the high patient traffic and referral network of the new hospital.

Sandro Peluso of CBRE commented, “We are thrilled to welcome Western Vascular Services to this precinct. Their commitment highlights the strong appeal of co-locating with other high-quality operators to create a holistic healthcare hub. The remaining 1,600sqm on Level 3 which can be split up into multiple individual tenancies offers an unparalleled opportunity for a major specialist operator to become an integral part of this new healthcare landmark.”

Kai Wang of CBRE added, “We are experiencing strong recent demand from specialist operators looking for both expanding and relocation opportunities. The healthcare sector is one of the most resilient and this development offers a chance to secure a long-term presence in a state-of-the-art facility, co-located with a major public hospital.”

The new Footscray Hospital is the largest single health infrastructure investment in Victoria's history, a $1.5 billion project delivered by Plenary Health in partnership with the Victorian Government and Western Health. The new hospital will feature over 500 beds, enabling care for nearly 15,000 additional patients and accommodating approximately 20,000 more emergency department visits each year. This landmark development is poised to transform healthcare for generations to come in Melbourne's booming western suburbs.
