“For the first time in 50 years, this strategic corner position will be on the market to offer an astute investor immediate returns and a uniquely lucrative future.”
In more than 30 years, Ian has witnessed the successful signing of more than two thousand commercial real estate transactions – which is more of a legacy, than a track record. And it’s one that has been achieved by adopting a methodical approach amongst a myriad of changing variables. It’s one that has been sharpened through his holistic exposure to commercial projects across all points of Melbourne. By focusing on maximising each property’s profitability, Ian ensures that at the end of the day, it’s maximising value that determines his success.
A prime 930 sqm* building on a staggering 1,610 sqm* corner block, this high-profile investment opportunity is anchored by the nationally recognised tenant who has been trading here for over 20 years.
With a rental return of $259,390 rental income + GST per annum, the significance of securing this vital corner piece of Nunawading can’t be understated.
There are 15 allocated car spaces at the front and rear of the property, a golden addition considering the Whitehorse Road retail strip accumulates more than 28,000 passing vehicles daily. There’s also handy rear access for deliveries, and the commercial 2 zoning also affords plenty of future value add and development potential.
With more than 81.61 m* of frontage to Whitehorse Road and Rooks Road, it’s no surprise that the tenant settled here early, with retail giants moving in around it. From auto traders like Hyundai and Alfa Romeo to making a house a home with Amart, Harvey Norman, and The Good Guys, it’s no wonder that this pocket of Whitehorse Road is the first stop to shop.

City of Whitehorse
ALL SIGNS POINT TO: WHITEHORSE ROAD.
Whitehorse Road is a prime spot for investors who want high visibility, excellent transport links, growing infrastructure, and a versatile market.
THE GOLDEN APPEAL
This strip of Whitehorse Road is a retail and commercial flagship. This stretch hosts major brands like Harvey Norman, Bunnings, and JB Hi-Fi, making it a high-traffic, high-performing, and high-visibility zone. The constant stream of shoppers boosts foot traffic along an already busy highway, benefiting all businesses within its orbit.
UNBEATABLE ACCESSIBILITY
Whitehorse Road offers direct links to key routes, including the Eastern Freeway and Springvale Road, making it a logistical dream. Whether you’re moving goods, customers, or staff, getting around is a breeze. And with Nunawading Station just a stone’s throw away, it’s easily accessible by public transport, too.
SOLID INFRASTRUCTURE
Ongoing projects, including road upgrades and the removal of level crossings, have transformed Whitehorse Road into a smooth, congestion-free artery. This makes it ideal for businesses needing easy access while minimising delays — something that speaks to investors looking for a location with long-term viability.
MIXED-USE GROWTH
Whitehorse Road is evolving beyond retail. A growing number of mixed-use developments are popping up, combining residential, office, and retail spaces. This means a built-in customer base for businesses, and for investors, it’s a dynamic, multi-purpose market with diversified opportunities.
IT’S THE PERFECT BLEND GROWTH, AND AFFORDABILITY SWEET SPOT IF YOU CAN IRON’S AND THE
THE POINT?
BLEND OF CONVENIENCE, AFFORDABILITY — A COMMERCIAL CAN STRIKE WHILE THE IRON’S HOT.
Nunawading has long been considered a commercial hotspot, thanks to its strategic location and ongoing infrastructure upgrades. Situated just 18 km* east of Melbourne’s CBD, it’s well-connected by major roads like the Eastern Freeway and Springvale Road, making it a powerful magnet for businesses seeking easy access to both the city and the eastern suburbs.
Level Crossing Removal at Springvale Road has slashed traffic congestion, speeding up travel times and boosting business appeal. Eastern Freeway Upgrades and the North East Link are also making Nunawading even more accessible, enhancing its commercial prospects.
The Golden Mile along Whitehorse Road is a retail powerhouse, hosting bulky goods titans like Harvey Norman and Bunnings, continually drawing more shoppers and investors to the precinct. But the buzz is more than retail, Nunawading’s growing mix of office and mixeduse developments is transforming it into a vibrant commercial precinct. New projects are drawing in professional services, medical facilities, and hospitality ventures, driven by the influx of younger families and professionals.
Retail vacancies are low, with growing demand for cafes, restaurants, and local services always front of mind the more the suburb swells with residents. Commercial property prices and rental yields are climbing, buoyed by population growth and infrastructure upgrades. With strong investor interest, better transport, and a growing population, this once-sleepy suburb is fast becoming a go-to destination for businesses seeking growth and affordability.
