Private Sale Closing Wednesday 14th of May at 3pm

This is the Black Rock unicorn commercial opportunity on every investor and owner-occupier’s wishlist, from the gold-standard village location merely a few metres from Beach Road to the highly-functional and nearly-new property floorplan. The building has recently undergone a major refurbishment (with a price tag of over $1.2mil*) to flexibly provide a ground-floor retail space and first-floor offices or residential offering — available to be occupied either together or separately. There’s rear access with 2 secure garage parking, an abundance of public parking on the shopping strip and in neighbouring public car parks, and a fit-out ideal for any retail, medical, allied health, or beachside office seeker. Located among Black Rock’s premier hospitality and retail attractions — including Uncle Bart, True South, and Kicho — and just a short stroll to the beach, this property is expected to generate an impressive rental income of approximately $150,000* per annum.

Black Rock’s high street is the charming, boutique, blue-chip beachside bubble only available once in a blue moon — and that’s exactly how the locals like it. Secure the nearly-new asset with a waitlist akin to landing a Beach Road table at True South.

“Opportunities like this are as rare as they come — a fully refurbished, incomegenerating, dual-purpose property in one of Bayside’s most tightly held retail strips. 599 Balcombe Road isn’t just a smart investment — it’s a blueprint for longterm success in Melbourne’s blue-chip coastal corridor.”

Private Sale by Closing Date Process

At CVA, we are committed to ensuring a professional and structured approach to private sales by closing date.

To provide full transparency and fairness to all interested buyers, we have outlined the key steps of the process below.

1. Submitting Offers

Offers must be submitted by the specified closing date and time. All interested parties should complete the required offer documentation in full, ensuring it is signed and submitted to the relevant contact prior to the deadline. Late submissions will not be considered. We recommend submitting your best offer, as the vendor may choose to accept an initial offer without further negotiation.

2. Review Process

Once the submission period has closed, all offers will be compiled and presented to the vendor for review. The vendor will carefully assess all offers and may decide to accept an offer outright, negotiate with selected buyers, or request additional details if necessary. We will promptly communicate the outcome and any further instructions to all parties.

3. Contract and Settlement

Following the acceptance of an offer, a contract of sale will be prepared. At this stage, a deposit will typically be required to secure the property. The terms of the sale, including the settlement date, will then be finalised between the vendor and the successful buyer.

We are dedicated to maintaining clear communication and ensuring that all participants are fully informed throughout the private sale process by closing date. Our goal is to provide a seamless and respectful transaction for all parties involved.
