Historic Windsor Super Site to Be Made Available for Sale After 150 Years

Iconic Melbourne property presents a unique, once in a lifetime opportunity for adaptation, reuse, and redevelopment.

• Significant landholding in Windsor
• Property is located in the proximity of the Victorian State Government recently announced Train and Tram Zone’ Activity Centres (specifically Windsor Station)
• The ultimate blend of iconic history with development upside
• Expect strong interest from residential developers and retirement/aged care providers

Presentation Sisters Victoria has made the decision to sell the former Presentation College site located on Dandenong Road, Windsor after 150 years of ownership with market expectations in excess of $50million.

Occupying a significant 1.89ha site, the property includes the historic and beautifully maintained former Presentation Convent, chapel and surrounding gardens. The opportunity exists to thoughtfully integrate a masterplan that embraces the extraordinary attributes of the property, enabling a redevelopment to last another 150 years.

Presentation Sisters Victoria has appointed Colliers International as exclusive agents for the sale, which is expected to commence in March 2025.

Colliers agents Jozef Dickinson and John Marasco will be managing the sale and commented, “We are extremely proud to represent Presentation Association Inc. on this really important assignment.”

The property will be announced to the market officially in the coming weeks as ‘Windsor Hall’ and will be made available via a Public Expressions of Interest campaign.

“Windsor Hall is precisely what appeals to developers. It’s a significant site of scale that can support a variety of uses. The site is further bolstered with Windsor Station having now been identified within the State Government’s second tranche of ‘Train and Tram Zone’ Activity Centres’ that will help deliver more than 300,000 additional homes close to Jobs, services and transport by 2051,” said Jozef Dickinson.

Situated in the vibrant suburb of Windsor, five kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD, the property is underpinned by key fundamentals of public transport connectivity, convenience, and retail amenities. Positioned in an attractive residential location, the site’s proximity to Windsor activity centre along Chapel Street makes it desirable and perfect for diverse development.

“We are expecting strong engagement from buyers, particularly from residential and retirement/aged-care developers. This is a genuine once in a lifetime opportunity,” Mr Dickinson added.

Colliers National Director | Capital Markets, John Marasco, noted, “The current property market presents a unique set of opportunities. The demand for quality assets remains robust. With its rich history and prime location, properties like Windsor Hall are highly sought-after.

Colliers agents Jozef Dickinson, John Marasco, and Philip Heberling are managing the Public Expressions of Interest (EOI) process of Windsor Hall, located at the corner of Hornby Street and Dandenong Road in Windsor.
