Melbourne City Mission begin lease in Victory Tower

Melbourne City Mission, Melbourne Melbourne’s oldest charity organisation, has continued to expand, leasing a whole floor in the Victory Tower.

Fitzroys agents Stephen Land and Sam Friend negotiated the five-year lease with a three year option over 393 sqm on Level 10 of Victory Tower, at $175,000 per annum plus GST on behalf of a private Melbourne-based landlord.

Melbourne City Mission said they intend to sub-lease part of the floor to Youth Law, another not-for-profit group they are co-locating with.

The lease comes just weeks before Melbourne City Mission opens its new $8 million crisis accommodation and homeless support centre on King Street in the CBD, which will be Victoria’s largest.

Stephen land said, “The premises contained existing workstations and chairs, and a recent upgrade that included new carpet, paint and kitchenette made the office desirable to prospective tenants that were looking to occupy an office with minimal work involved."

“Landlords are benefiting from the race to secure sub-500 sqm tenancies across the Melbourne CBD, as operators across a range of industries increasingly look to secure a city address.” 

“These major developments have prompted a broadening range of tenant enquiry in this part of the city. Operators want to be among the enhanced lifestyle, food and beverage offerings in the area that have been spurred by the booming worker population,” Land concluded.
