Melbourne 'supersite' expected to sell for around $80 million

A development site in a vibrant pocket of Melbourne is likely to sell for a colossal sum.

With a land size of around 9,199-square-metres, “The Perfect Ten” is a collection of 10 addresses across 12 separate titles at Barkly, Carlisle, Greeves and Vale Streets, in the heart of St Kilda.

Jozef Dickinson, National Director for Residential at Colliers International Melbourne, who holds the listing alongside Brett Griffith and Philip Heberling, says that while it’s a difficult listing to price, “a lot of interest lies in the $70 million to $80 million price range”.

Expressions of interest close at 2pm AEST on Thursday, May 16.

Flexible zoning across commercial, general residential and mixed-use are in place under the City of Port Phillip Planning Scheme.

The land currently contains multiple dwellings with a mix of residential and commercial buildings.

“The site is a difficult one to price given how unique it is, but the range of $70 million to $80 million is where we are expecting a lot of interest.”

Dickinson adds that “it’s still early days in the sale process” and they are “yet to see what the market is telling us around what the deal particulars look like”.

St Kilda is a popular seaside suburb of Melbourne, 6km southeast of the CBD. It’s a vibrant hub known for its trendy bars, fine dining and boutiques.

The median house price for the suburb is $1.47 million.
