The Challenge: A prime Richmond investment faced restricted development potential and suppressed disposal value due to a public laneway dividing three adjacent properties. The challenge was navigating Council processes to secure the necessary land acquisition to allow full site consolidation.
Our Intervention: We executed a strategic land assembly and regulatory negotiation. We negotiated with the Local Council to approve the discontinuance and acquisition of the public laneway. This removed the regulatory constraint to development.
Our impact:
Asset Transformation: We consolidated a triple-fronted site. This fundamentally changed the asset's scale and development profile.
Value Optimisation: We optimised the disposal value by creating a superior asset offering for developers seeking maximum Gross Floor Area (GFA).
Lease Strategy: We negotiated near-term lease expiries for all three occupational tenants. This ensured market certainty regarding vacant possession and removed a significant barrier to future development.
Political Literacy: We managed the Council land discontinuance process. This required navigating a politically sensitive and administratively complex public transaction.
Result: Converted a fragmented, value-constrained site into a premium, consolidated development opportunity.
