Six industrial units in Melbourne's Braeside sell for $1.84 million

A speculatively built industrial property comprising six units at Braeside in Melbourne’s south-east has sold for a total of $1.84 million and an average $2,200 a square metre.

Developed by Melbourne-based Ballantyne Builders, the units ranging from 123 to 162 square metres, sold before completion. 

Located at 20 Canterbury Road in a well-established industrial estate, it boasts of tenants such as Nissan Motorsport, Fabtronics Australia and Weber Performance.

"The units were designed to meet pent-up demand in this sector and with few similar units of comparable price and quality available, were quickly taken up," said Chris Telley of Savills, who brokered the deals with Gareth Jackson and Nixon Industrial.

He added that the quick sales were driven by the price point, truck access, secure premises, and size. They are close to Wells Road, Governor Road and Springvale Road.

"Ballantyne seized on a market opportunity and were well rewarded,’’ Telley said.
