Smash repairer takes shine to West Melbourne

15 June 2022

The family-owned Goumas Smash Repairs has purchased a site in West Melbourne for $12 million.

With a history dating back to 1960 and an existing centre in Fitzroy, the smash repairer secured 17-31 Radcliffe Street, West Melbourne.

The 3,582sqm site features a high-clearance 1,414sqm warehouse with seven roller doors, and a secure 1,300sqm yard.

The sale price reflects a building rate of $8,486/sqm.

On the corner of Radcliffe Street and Dynon Road, the property offers easy access to the City Link Freeway, Port of Melbourne and Melbourneā€™s CBD.

CBREā€™s Bryce Pane and Ricardo Cappelletti negotiated the transaction on behalf of the vendors, Jcaw Pty Ltd and Mavro Psari Pty Ltd.

ā€œThe property attracted interest from occupiers, developers and investors from Melbourne and interstate,ā€ Mr Pane said.

ā€œIts main road corner location, just two kilometres from the Melbourne CBD, led to a record building rate in the suburb.ā€
