In the post-boom era of Richmond and Cremorne, you’ve missed the train to get in early, but you can collect the rent now, then re-lease or move into a location that has a heat map only getting hotter.
“An exceptional opportunity to secure a high-yielding, characterfilled office with future flexibility in the heart of Richmond.”
Tim Cooney | 0468 860 737 tim.cooney@cva.melbourne
After nearly two decades of experience across Australia and London, Tim brings a global perspective to local deals — paired with a distinctly Melbourne sense of approachability. Since joining CVA in 2021, he’s become known for his attention to detail, proactive mindset, and long-game thinking. For Tim, commercial real estate isn’t about chasing transactions, but building partnerships. He thrives on developing genuine, long-term relationships and takes the time to understand not just what clients want now, but what they’ll need next. Tim blends strategic thinking with day-to-day diligence, whether he’s running a campaign, structuring a deal or mapping out a multi-year leasing strategy, his goal is the same: deliver value, build trust, and exceed expectations.
“With income locked in and a prime position near Church Street, this versatile space is as smart as it is stylish.”
Charlie Hicks | 0420 643 202 charlie.hicks@cva.melbourne
Naturally business and strategy minded, but with the credentials to back it up — Charlie has a Bachelor of Business and Arts that keeps his processes sharp and campaigns organised. In saying that, his intuition has driven a large part of his success, from his relationship-building to the trust he fosters between colleagues and clients alike. It’s why CVA knew they had a leading Property Executive on their hands, and why Charlie channelled his media experience into creating worth across all points of Melbourne. Hardworking. Organised. Reliable. But those around him for more than a moment would say that he has a way of getting along with everyone. And while the saying ‘fail to plan, plan to fail’ is used by many, they’re words Charlie lives by — and it’s exactly how he got here.
Spanning 180 sqm* across two light-filled levels, this boutique strata office blends chic warehouse character with modern amenity — think timber floors, soaring high rafts, feature lighting, and a spacious first-floor balcony.
The ground floor adds even more versatility, with polished concrete, a bi-fold entrance, and space that works as an office, showroom, storage or workshop. Currently leased to Allume Energy until 30th November 2025 at $81,149.19 per annum*, the property provides immediate income, three on-title car parks, and Commercial 2 zoning to support a wide range of uses.
Investors will appreciate the recoverable outgoings and sharp yield profile, while owner-occupiers can plan ahead to take possession post-lease with income in place until then. Moments from Church Street, Highett Street and multiple tram routes, and surrounded by Richmond’s best cafes and retail — this is a rare blend of inner-city popularity and investment-grade certainty.
