AMP Sells Out of $40 Million Retirement Village, Phillip Island

IT IS out with the old and in with the new at an increasing number of council planning meetings – with another site once earmarked to become a retirement village winding up in the hands of residential developers, which have had reconfigured projects approved. This time, near the Phillip Island retail township of Cowes, AMP Capital Investors has sold out of a $40 million aged-care based village it earmarked for 26 hectares of former farmland on Ventnor Road. The new owner, a residential developer is now proposing a standard “house-and-land package” based redevelopment, Whyte Sands. Greg Price of selling agency Alex Scott says the reinvented project will yield about 300 lots and be developed over four years. [...]

China-Based Developer Buys Major St Kilda Road Development Site

CHINA based builder Sunnyland Investment Group has paid about $40 million for a major St Kilda Road development site which has the potential to yield at least two major apartment skyscrapers, and a ground floor shopping centre. The purchase continues a trend of Asia-based investors swooping on inner-city sites and exploiting the state government’s problematic Melbourne @ 5 Million planning policy which encourages higher density redevelopment around existing roads and public transport – a strategy that hasn’t gone unnoticed to stressed drivers, bus and rail commuters in this election campaign. Sunnyland’s latest acquisition is of the Clemenger BBDO House office at 472 – 474 St Kilda Road, on the south-west corner of Leopold Street. [...]

Salta to Sell Altona North Office Warehouse

LOCAL builder and fund manager Salta Properties is selling another asset, this time in Melbourne’s west. The 1.3 hectare industrial site with a 6800 square metre office in Westgate Drive, Altona North, is fully leased to Toyota Australia which uses the property to prepare motor cars for its national staff. Beller Commercial director Fred Nucara is expecting about $5 million for the asset. Based on the asset’s annual rental return of $510,000, that would equate to a yield of about 10 per cent. [...]

Australand Consortium to Build Apartment Compound Opposite Melbourne Uni

GIVEN the increasing number of apartment dwellers calling Melbourne’s inner north home, a “direct” trip between the Tullamarine and Eastern freeways – via the zoo and cemetery – can now consume motorist’s an hour, or more, largely because of amplified traffic congestion. But it would appear in government planning meetings, bottlenecks like that around Elliott Avenue, Macarthur Road and the University of Melbourne have received less consideration than other crisis-ridden road systems – like the ones in suburbs between Seaford and Mt Martha where the $759 million (and many say unnecessary) Peninsula Link was recently given the green light. Instead, the state government has appointed builder Australand to develop a major apartment compound at one of the inner-city’s last remaining vacant development sites, opposite the Melbourne General Cemetery, the University of Melbourne – and the busy roundabout that connects these two sites to Swanston Street.
