Strike! Melbourne's tenpin bowling future secured in $10m deal
The Salvation Army Housing's most recent annual report shows its total assets reached $153.7 million in 2023-24, up 7.2 per cent from the previous year. It owns or part-owns just 23 per cent of the 1850 properties it manages.
The Salvos moved into the new 7878 sq m building at 99 Railway Road in 2008 after selling its Surrey Hills HQ for around $12 million.
While fully leased by the charity, it has sub-let space over the years and the building is being sold with a 9.8 year average lease term.
The all-electric 5.5 Star NABERS-rated building has four upper levels of office and a three-level basement car park for 204 vehicles. It's close to Blackburn railway station.
JLL's Tim Carr, Josh Rutman, Piper Dedrick and MingXuan Li have the listing.
Maha on Chapel
Restaurateur Shane Delia is selling the Chapel Street premises where he operates Maha East at the Windsor end of the strip.
The property at 36 Chapel Street has a fresh eight-year lease to Maha East with an eight-year option. Upstairs is leased to a newly established media organisation, the International Film Festival Awards, set up in 2021 by Jatinder Kumar.
Records show Delia paid $2.2 million in 2016. The property returns a total $138,655 a year and is expected to fetch around $2.65 million.
It's going to auction on August 6 as part of next month's Burgess Rawson portfolio auction.
Agents Shaun Venables, David Napoleone and Hamish Bowen are handling enquiries. The 50-year old Burgess Rawson agency was recently acquired by global giant CBRE.
Man cave
The 'man cave' belonging to former Melbourne Cricket Club president David Jones fetched $2.2 million last week with a local buyer beating four others bidding for the Cremorne warehouse.
Jones stored his Ferrari and other car memorabilia at the 290 sq m property at 116 Green Street.
Bids opened at $1.6 million, with serial auction bidder Danny Wallis - a big buyer on The Block television program - leaning on his own red Ferrari.
The property was on the market at $1.8 million and sold 22 per cent above the reserve.
Colliers' Ben Baines and Matt Knox and Teska Carson's Michael Taylor and Matthew Field ran the campaign.
Taylor said all the bidders planned to use it for the same purpose as Jones.
Mini logistics
A Sydney buyer has swooped on the mini-Coles logistics centre in Malvern, paying $7.5 million after it passed in at auction at $7 million.
The price for 1 Edsall Street, at the rear of the Glenferrie Road Coles supermarket, reflected a sharp yield of 3.8 per cent.
The 777 sq m property provides logistics, cold storage and administrative support for the supermarket. Coles' lease runs until 2031 and has two further 10-year options.
Records show the vendors had held the property since at least 1987 – paying $1.3 million for the site decades before Coles set up shop on the strip.
CBRE's Jamie Hess, Sam Guest, David Minty and James Douglas negotiated the deal under instructions from Mark Ruttner at First Valuation Group.
Flat out
A block of flats in Brighton, with a permit for 10 townhouses, sold to a local developer for $8 million.
The flats at 467 New Street are on a large 1629 sq m site near Elsternwick Park and a short stroll from Elwood Beach.
The sale represents a substantial premium on the last sale. It last changed hands in 2023, when a joint venture between experienced property players, Michael Robinson, Nick Brown and Georgina Goldsworthy paid $5.52 million.
It's been a while since the market has seen such a premium added to the value after obtaining a permit.
JLL's Jesse Radisich, Maddie Pizzey and Xander Yeo, did the deal.
Nearby at 79 Ormond Road in the Elwood Village, another block of flats and shops fetched $5.38 million.
Records show Nick Williams, who heads up Hudson Conway – a construction behemoth in its heyday building Crown Casino – has put a caveat over the property.
The vendors paid $840,000 for the 16-unit block 40 years ago.
It's on an 870 sq m block of land on the corner of Beach Avenue, opposite the popular Blue Tongue wine bar.
CBRE agents Nathan Mufale, Alex Brierly, David Minty, Scott Hawthorne and Jing Jun Heng ran the campaign. Williams was represented by Advise Transact.
Childcare sale
Property giant Charter Hall has offloaded another childcare centre in a bumper $12.5 million off-market deal.
The sale of the Highett Centre, leased to Only About Children, reflected a tight yield of 5 per cent. The buyer is understood to be a local Victorian family who is ploughing their cash into the sector.
The centre has a long 20-year lease and returns $630,456 a year. It is in the heart of the Highett shopping village at 491 Highett Road, behind the railway station, in a converted office building.
CBRE's Sandro Peluso, Marcello Caspani-Muto and Jimmy Tat did the deal which is nipping at the heels of some of the bigger transactions they recently managed.
Last year, a centre in Cremorne, Sydney, fetched $18.5 million on a 4.69 per cent yield and an East Brighton creche sold for $16.5 million on a 4.9 per cent yield.

Impulse spending is costing us thousands. Here's how to cut back
That dopamine hit that comes with giving in to an impulse buy is euphoric. Just a few clicks and you've got a new purchase in your cart. Many of us have our credit card already saved in our phone, meaning you have probably just spent $200 faster than you can say 'debt'. What can often follow is an overwhelming feeling of failure and guilt that can crush your spirits. That $200 hole in the monthly household budget will be felt somewhere down the line – probably at the supermarket when you're trying to purchase the essentials. There might be a cost-of-living crisis, but Australians still spend $47 billion a year on impulse purchases costing people thousands of dollars a year. Young Australians are the biggest culprits, with Gen Z spending $74 a week on impulse purchases, compared to just $9 a week by Baby Boomers, according to Finder. So why do we do it? If you're swamped with deadlines and balancing the pressures of raising a family, you probably tell yourself that you deserve a little something for all your hard work. Avid social media scrollers may see an ad from a favourite brand, tempting you to make a purchase, knowing it will give you a quick dopamine hit. It's even easier to buy into the consumer culture knowing that purchased items could be on our doorstep within mere hours, depending on where you live. Distract yourself with a walk, call a friend or head to the kitchen and do some meal prep for tomorrow instead. But acting on the urge to feel good in the moment is usually short-lived. Instead, consider the long-term benefits and rewards you will experience by resisting short-lived spending temptations, financial therapist Jane Monica-Jones says. Monica-Jones, who offers therapy to people with bad financial habits, says there are ways to overcome an addiction to instant gratification.

Best-selling cleaning brand Pine O Cleen partners with Australian Red Cross to support communities across the country
There's no better feeling than knowing your favourite supermarket buys are also making a difference — and that's exactly what Pine O Cleen is delivering. One of Australia's favourite cleaning brands, Pine O Cleen, available to shop at Coles, is continuing its impactful partnership with the Australian Red Cross through The Cleen Up Program. For the past three years, the trusted household brand has donated up to $100,000 annually to support individuals and communities affected by crises across the country. Loved for their best-selling products like the Multi Purpose Trigger Spray, Platinum Laundry Sanitiser, and Scentsations Disinfectant Wipes, Pine O Cleen remains a go-to for thousands of Aussies. And now, you can help too. From July 2 to July 29, for every Pine O Cleen product purchased at Coles, $0.20 will be donated directly to the Australian Red Cross. It's a simple way to give back while stocking up on your cleaning essentials. The Cleen Up Program is now in its third year, continuing to support long-term recovery and strengthen communities across Australia. Pine O Cleen has played a huge part in helping Australian Red Cross provide ongoing support to communities during the recovery process which can often take months, years, or even decades. This vital support has reached those affected by natural disasters like Cyclone Alfred which left thousands of people without power and caused widespread damage to their homes in Queensland and Northern NSW. To support clean-up in affected communities, Pine O Cleen is the official hygiene partner of Australian Red Cross, providing cleaning and hygiene products — both for individuals to use in their homes and for Australian Red Cross Emergency Services volunteers working in community spaces and recovery centres. 'Every disaster we respond to has different requirements, and we work closely with our partners to coordinate recovery efforts and services for the specific individual and community need,' says Australian Red Cross Director of Emergency Services, Resilience & Recovery, Nichola Krey. 'The partnership with Pine O Cleen has helped to maintain hygiene throughout community hubs, ensuring people are in safe and clean spaces during their time of need.'
