Colliers Melbourne City Sales team has secured strong results for strata assets across Melbourne CBD as cashed-up owner-occupiers look to acquire office space and procure their business' future, despite the cautious sentiment around the market currently.

In the middle of the CBD, a local barrister just purchased a 212 sqm penthouse and rooftop at 415 Bourke Street, known as Rochelle House, for $2,100,000, representing a building rate of $9,905/sqm, in a campaign that saw over 80 enquiries.

Christian Hatzis, Manager of Colliers Melbourne City Sales, said, "The buyer, who was leasing space within immediate proximity, quickly recognised the scarcity of assets with rooftop opportunities in the CBD, leading to a strong sales result of the property, which was brought to market for the first time in 20 years."

In Docklands, a prominent project management firm secured five top-floor suites at Australia's first 5-Star Green Star commercial strata office building at 838 Collins Street, featuring an innovative open-air atrium and internal louvres providing superb natural light and natural ventilation.

"The firm had established themselves within the building, so when the opportunity became available, the discerning directors swooped in to secure the two suites they already leased while also purchasing three additional suites to future-proof their operation," Mr Hatzis added.

The five suites total 338 sqm combined, were purchased for $1,921,530, representing a building rate of $5,685/sqm.

Colliers' Christian Hatzis, Andrew Ryan and Matt Knox have also been appointed as exclusive agents to manage the sale of level 9, Mering House, at 278 Collins Street. The prime blue-chip office opportunity spans across the entire 351 sqm top floor and is being offered for sale with vacant possession and a price expectation of $3,100,000.

The fully fitted office floor contains multiple office spaces, meeting rooms, reception, and several break-out areas strategically positioned for strong future capital growth on the doorstep of Town Hall Train Station.

"Colliers is currently preparing a number of properties in the Melbourne CBD and City Fringe to bring to market to match the current demand from owner-occupiers," Mr Hatzis concluded.
