Heritage-listed Richmond warehouse conversion an office dream with city views
If you’re looking for a place to grow your business with a checklist that includes an abundance of natural light, character and a great location, it’s your lucky day.
A former bakery with a heritage overlay, this modern two-storey office warehouse conversion in the heart of Richmond in Melbourne’s inner east boasts an open-plan work area downstairs and a private upstairs workspace with city views flooded with brightness.
The property, at 6/8 Bromham Place, is a short walk from Church Street and Bridge Road, with a plethora of lunch and after-work drink spots in easy reach.
Well connected to public transport – trains and trams – employees will also be able to take advantage of three secure car parking spaces and a small outdoor communal courtyard.
With a separate boardroom, a kitchenette, a bathroom, a shower, and heating and cooling, the space is one of seven suites within the broader building.
The owner, a private investor, is letting go after 15 years and is offering it to the market at an asking price of $1.25 million, according to Rory Teska Szer of Teska & Carson.
Teska Szer said the office would suit an architect, designer, or marketing agency, and it previously had a psychologist tenant.
“It’s just a good space for small businesses,” he said.
“It’s got lovely city views on the top floor, which is quite rare; none of the other suites have that.
“There are a lot of young business people, and the Richmond area is a very happening area with people walking the streets, cafes, and restaurants. At lunchtime it’s the place to be.”
The suburb, three kilometres from the CBD, has a gritty working-class past and attracts an average age of 20 to 39, with a three-bedroom home hovering around $1.56 million.
The Victorian Heritage report states that the property was a former civil service co-operative bakery.
