Approved Child care development opportunity in prime Boronia location

30 January 2023

An 86-place childcare centre development site with planning approval is being offered for sale by the JLL Healthcare & Life Sciences team and is expected to fetch interest around the mid-$1million mark.

The 1,015 sqm site at 121 Dorset Rd, Boronia, is being offered for sale with a Heads of Agreement in place for a 14 year (plus 2 x 10-year options) with international child care operator MindChamps.

MindChamps operates 80 centres across five countries with 21 centres in NSW.

Boronia is a well-established location in Melbourneā€™s leafy eastern suburbs that is popular with young couples and families.

JLL Capital Markets Senior Executive ā€“ Healthcare & Life Sciences Mark Stafford said: ā€œThe site provides an almost fully documented development site, with endorsed plans and permits in place allowing construction to commence almost immediately after settlement.

The site represents a rare opportunity to deliver a state-of-the-art child care centre in a location with strong demand for services, with average daily rates in excess of $140 per place.

ā€œAlternatively, the opportunity may appeal to an owner-occupier looking to expand their current child care operations, with opportunities to deliver centres in the local area few and far in between,ā€ he said.

121 Dorset Rd, Boronia is offered via an Expressions of Interest campaign closing Thurs 2 March via marketing agents Mark Stafford and MingXuan Li at JLL.
