Motel’s Next Bold Chapter

8 August 2025
844–846 Sydney Road, Coburg North

Opportunities like this don’t come around often. Situated just 9km from Melbourne’s CBD, this expansive 2,700sqm* landholding at 844–846 Sydney Road, Coburg North offers a rare chance to secure a significant inner-north footprint.

Once dubbed “Australia’s worst motel,” the vacant former StayInn site is now a blank canvas ready for its next chapter. With triple street frontage and flexible zoning, the site is primed for development, occupation, or land banking. Large-scale sites this close to the city are incredibly scarce, especially in such a well-connected, rapidly evolving precinct surrounded by trams, trains, parkland, and local amenities.

Don’t miss what could be a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make your mark in Melbourne’s inner north.

Expressions of Interest close Thursday 21 August at 3:00 p.m.

Land parcels of this size and proximity to the CBD are exceptionally rare and with flexible zoning and significant street frontage, it offers tremendous potential for a range of uses. We anticipate strong interest from buyers looking to create something truly special in this highly sought-after precinct.”
