CBRE Healthcare & Social Infrastructure have been appointed to lease an exceptional childcare opportunity in Melbourne’s premium Eastern Corridor. Located in the suburb of Upper Ferntree Gully, the project will represent a premium development that caters to the needs of the high demand local community.

Sandro Peluso, Marcello Caspani-Muto & Jimmy Tat have been tasked with running an Expressions of Interest campaign and expect childcare providers will be attracted to the project for it’s premium design elements and strong demographic support. The location has been strategically chosen given its thriving demand ratio which sees 7 schools within a 4km radius, ensuring a consistent flow of potential enrolments and sustained demand.

The forthcoming center has been meticulously designed by specialist childcare architects with the development incorporating modern and innovative concepts that prioritize the well-being and development of children. The thoughtful layout and engaging spaces will provide an exceptional environment for learning, play, and growth.

Sandro Peluso says, “Victoria is experiencing a robust and sustained demand for childcare services, driven by evolving social dynamics, changing family structures, and the growing participation of women in the workforce. The state government's commitment to supporting early childhood education and care has further accentuated this demand. There has been a significant increase in the number of children requiring childcare placements, outpacing the availability of quality facilities.”

Marcello Caspani-Muto added ‘The pressure on existing centres and the waiting lists faced by families reflects the urgent need for additional childcare options across Victoria. Many existing centres struggle to provide sufficient places or maintain optimal standards of care due to limited resources, space, or outdated infrastructure. This scarcity creates an exceptional opportunity for visionary childcare operators to address the growing demand and provide a quality experience for families”

The centre located at 1157-1165 Burwood Highway will feature 119 Long Day Care Places across a substantial land parcel of over 4,000sqm allowing generous outdoor play allotments and landscapes.

In it’s latest public leasing campaign the CBRE Healthcare & Social Infrastructure team achieved a benchmark setting leasing rate of over $5,000 per place for an off-the plan childcare centre in Footscray. This achievement underscores the immense potential and desirability of the sector, understanding that brand new centres like Upper Ferntree Fully will present an opportunity not to be missed for forward-thinking childcare operators.
