There are seven properties, one of which was purchased by Michael Cassar, on 1828 square metres of land stretching from 58-60 Kerr Street, down Fitzroy Street to the corner of Argyle Street. They are for sale as a package or as individual properties.
So far, plenty of interest has been expressed for the individual houses, which are in a blue-chip Fitzroy location, close to Brunswick Street, among many high-profile apartment projects.
The CBRE team is also selling the former Liberty petrol station at 151-159 Victoria Parade.
Records show the 1680 square metre property changed hands in 2020 for a bumper $19.8 million.

Epping
Fawkner Property Group, an active buyer in the past year, has divested one of its investments, selling a huge petrol station in Epping on a tight yield of 4.3 per cent.
Petrol giant Chevron holds a 15-year lease on the service station, paying $742,835 a year in rent, which means the final price was about $17 million. The buyer is understood to be a high-net-worth Melbourne investor.
Records show the property last changed hands in 2019 for $10.65 million – a very tidy profit for Fawkner, which last year made some big shopping centre plays, buying Cairns Central in Queensland for $390 million; Settlement City in Port Macquarie for $102.4 million; and a half stake, with PAG, in Perth’s Midland Gate Shopping centre for $465 million.

Officeworks
Investors continue to line up for regional retail properties, with boutique Sydney fund Blackfox Property making its first foray into the Victoria market.
Records show Blackfox has settled on Shepparton Officeworks, paying $11.61 million for the 3820 square metre Shepparton Retail Hub, which includes a Bottle-O, Red Rooster and Club Lime Gym.

The deal was negotiated by Stonebridge Property Group’s Rorey James and Justin Dowers, with Colliers’ Tim McIntosh and James Lawson.
“The level of interest in the regions is quite strong, with interstate investors and high-net-worth individuals from Melbourne the most active,” McIntosh said
It follows a string of transactions in country Victoria, including recent sales in Colac and Warrnambool.
Next up is the brand new Officeworks in Warrnambool, which also includes a JB Hi-Fi. Stonebridge is selling the property as part of its May national portfolio.
