The property has street frontages to The Terrace and Park Lane, along with a pedestrian walkway.
The 959sq m landholding has a strategic dual street frontage and offers long-term future development potential.
Darcy Jarman agents Andrew Prowse and Tim Darcy, in conjunction with Kerleys Coastal director Damian Cayzer, are managing the expressions of interest campaign closing August 21.
“It’s almost 1000sq m of commercial land, that on its own is a significant attribute to the property. There’s nothing like outside the Coles building or Home Timber and Hardware on that strip so the scale can’t be ignored,” Mr Prowse said.
The collection of commercial tenancies at 65-67 The Terrace and 6-9 Park Lane, Ocean Grove, have been put up for sale in one line.
“It’s a unique opportunity – eight tenancies offered for sale in one line and fully leased to longstanding tenants. They’re all on three-year terms and a lot of them are on renewed terms.
“The average tenure is over 11 years, so it’s an asset that hasn’t been presented to the Geelong market for a long time.”
The diverse mix of tenants across banking, retail, health, hospitality and service sectors lowers to the risk profile for future owners, Mr Prowse said.
Tenants include Bendigo Bank, Oceans24 Health Club, Mac’s Menswear, Mudge Shoes, and longstanding institutions such as Cleo Fine Jewellery.
The diverse mix of tenancies lowers the property’s risk profile for future investors.
“I’m a big fan of The Terrace, it’s one of the best retail strips on the Bellarine and is constantly around zero vacancies along the strip at any one time,” he said.
Given its CBD location, it’s strong income and mix of tenancies, industry sources say the property could match a 5 per cent to 6 per cent yield achieved in similar landmark sales with future development upside across the Geelong region in recent years.
That could push the value to $6m.
The property also has long-term future development prospects.
The Terrace is a bustling business hub, with national retailers such as Coles, ANZ and the Commonwealth Bank, high foot traffic and year-round demand that swells over summer.
Mr Prowse said there as been good initial engagement, with a mix of local, Melbourne and interstate groups seeking information.
“It’ll be someone that will be looking to enjoy that income today but potentially have an understanding of what that area will evolve to and become and continue to be.
“But given the security of the income, it’s very much a land bank with a cash flow and down the track a grander plan for that site could be activated.”
