Late David Jones’ Historic Cremorne Warehouse Offered with Vacant Possession

Colliers in conjunction with Teska Carson launch a landmark Cremorne asset with historical significance.

A unique warehouse located in Melbourne’s Cremorne has been brought to market for sale by Colliers agents Ben Baines and Matt Knox, alongside Teska Carson’s Matthew Feld and Michael Taylor.

The property was owned by the late David Jones AO OBE KStJ, a revered figure in Melbourne’s sporting and business circles. As former MCC President (2003–2007), Executive Chairman of Tattersall’s and President of Rotary Club of Melbourne, Jones played a pivotal role in business, community service as well as preserving Australia’s sporting legacy.

With a passion for history, David Jones curated his own 290sqm* warehouse at 116 Green Street. The space houses a trove of memorabilia and classic cars, including a 1972 Ferrari 246 GT Dino Coupe, a 1955 MG 1500 Roadster, and the prized ‘6-666’ number plate issued in 1913, which are being sold separately via Doningtons. Beyond its historical charm of the extensive memorabilia, the property itself featues a clean span warehouse with roller shutter door access, concrete flooring, bathroom amenities, and abundant natural light, offering endless potential for a variety of uses.

Positioned in the heart of Cremorne, the property benefits from close access tothe vibrant Church and Swan Street precincts. Surrounded by popular establishments such as Baker Bleu, LaManna & Sons, and the Cherry Tree Hotel, this character-filled and tucked-away warehouse presents a rare opportunity for owner-occupiers seeking to secure a foothold in one of Melbourne’s most tightly held commercial pockets. Whether used as a business headquarters, creative studio, or luxury storage facility, the versatility is unmatched.

Ben Baines, Director, Melbourne Metro Sales | Investment Services at Colliers, commented,

“Cremorne continues to outperform other suburban and fringe markets thanks to its creative energy, strategic location, and appeal to major businesses.”

“Freehold warehouses of this scale are incredibly rare — and when they come to market, they generate strong interest from across the country. Right now, we’re seeing an acute shortage of sub- 400sqm warehouse offerings in Cremorne, making this an exceptional opportunity.”

Mr Baines added, “This is the ideal space for a creative-style business or private owner-occupier seeking secure and stylish workshop or storage space with the added bonus of historical character.”

116 Green Street, Cremorne will go to auction on-site at 12:30pm on Thursday, 3 July 2025. Price expectations are upwards of $2 million.
