It sold to the opening bidder who offered $5.4 million for the decommissioned substation set within moments of village shops, cafes, Harris Farm Markets and Parisis Food Hall.
The mostly cleared site came with a freestanding solid double brick structure with high walls with the opportunity to use the structure as a foundation for its redevelopment
The Raine & Horne marketing suggested it had "fantastic potential to create luxury contemporary apartments."
