Brisbane-based developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/red-co">Red &amp; Co</a> has made a striking debut on the Gold Coast, officially unveiling its $250 million COMO development in Varsity Lakes, a lifestyle-driven residential project anchored by an extensive rooftop wellness and activity precinct.

Having recently launched to market, construction has already been fast-tracked by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/5point-projects">5Point Projects</a>, ensuring momentum continues on what is set to become a landmark residential address for the growing Varsity Lakes community.

Located at 22 Lake Street, Varsity Lakes, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/como-varsity-lakes-22-lake-street-varsity-lakes-qld-4227">COMO</a> will comprise 156 apartments across 16 levels, comprising one-, two- and three-bedroom residences designed for modern living. However, it is the project’s rooftop amenity offering that sets COMO apart.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363510]

Designed as a dedicated wellness and recreation hub, the rooftop will feature a 25-metre lap pool, fully equipped gymnasium, and multiple pickleball and paddleball courts - amenities rarely seen in boutique apartment projects.

Residents will also have access to a sauna and plunge baths, while landscaped gardens and relaxation zones will provide tranquil spaces overlooking sweeping panoramic views across the Gold Coast skyline.

The rooftop precinct has been designed to function as the social and wellness heart of the development, encouraging residents to embrace an active, balanced lifestyle within their own building.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363512]

Red &amp; Co director David Laverty said the amenity offering was central to the project’s design from the outset.

“Amenities were at the forefront of our decisions,” Laverty said.

“Buyers today are looking for more than just an apartment - they want a lifestyle that promotes health, connection and balance.

“The rooftop at COMO has been designed to be the epicentre of that lifestyle, with a suite of wellness and recreation facilities that are quite unique for a boutique development of this scale.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363514]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, the residences prioritise liveability, featuring spacious layouts, 2.7-metre ceilings and high-quality finishes throughout.

The development sits beside Bond University, placing residents within walking distance of education, retail and dining options within the vibrant Varsity Lakes precinct, including Robina Town Centre, Varsity Lakes Train Station and a range of leading schools.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363511]

Laverty said the location was a key driver behind Red &amp; Co’s decision to bring the project to the Gold Coast.

“<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/varsity-lakes-qld-4227">Varsity Lakes</a> was a clear choice for us to invest in as it’s a lifestyle hub that seamlessly blends lakeside living with urbanity,” he said.&nbsp;

“Como will capitalize on this great location, delivering a project that not only creates premium homes, but a lifestyle defined by community, wellbeing, and connectivity.”

Red &amp; Co has delivered more than 500 apartments and townhouses across 26 projects in Brisbane in recent years, with COMO marking the company’s first major Gold Coast development.

Gold Coast developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/big-projects">Big Projects</a> has secured approval for its second Mermaid Beach project.

The developer, currently selling <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-frederick-mermaid-beach-2265-gold-coast-highway-mermaid-beach-qld-4218">The Frederick in Nobby Beach</a>, has secured approval for its next project just 1.5 kilomnetres up the road.

The new development, dubbed&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/glenelg-residences-2462-2472-gold-coast-highway-mermaid-beach-qld-4218">Glenelg Residences</a>, has been designed by BDA Architecture and&nbsp;will have just under 100 apartments across an 11-storey building&nbsp;at 2462–2472 Gold Coast Highway, on the corner of Glenelg Avenue just under 300m from the future Mermaid Beach Light Rail stop.

The apartments, a mix of two- and three-bedrooms, will sit above a retail-focused ground plane and under extensive rooftop resident amenities.

<img alt="Exclusive: Big Projects plot Mermaid Beach apartment development, Glenelg Residences" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_75/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screen%20Shot%202024-06-11%20at%209.55.04%20am.png?VersionId=z6NV4izeuvhBSSVlY6vK6TPO1LxrFeaG" />

BDA said in its planning submission that the project is intended to support the area’s transition toward higher-density, mixed-use living. “This project offers the opportunity to generate appropriate higher-intensity development within the future Light Rail corridor of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/mermaid-beach-qld-4218">Mermaid Beach</a>,” the submission noted.

At ground level, Glenelg Residences will include eight retail tenancies designed to activate the street frontage, complemented by a basement bar offering an additional hospitality element. Above, residents will have access to a rooftop amenity deck featuring an infinity pool, hot and cold plunge spas, day beds, and barbecue facilities.

The architectural approach adopts a restrained material palette of brick, textured concrete, and integrated landscaping, with cantilevered concrete frames and cascading planting intended to soften the built form. BDA described the design as aiming to create “a memorable sculptural mid-rise mixed-use building” that responds to both its coastal setting and urban context.

Sherpa Group is ramping up its investment in the southern Gold Coast by lodging a development application for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/flourish-viver-87-griffith-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Flourish Viveré</a>, a new $350 million project in Coolangatta.

The move comes after the group’s $27 million acquisition of the 2,029 sqm site on the corner of Griffith and Warner Street, last year.

They will develop 194 apartments across a 26-storey tower, which will become Sherpa’s largest project to date.

Viveré will be the next chapter in the Flourish story, following closely behind Amargo, Oasis, and the Avenues in Palm Beach, as well as Symphony in Brisbane, all designed to deliver affordable housing in lifestyle-rich locations, giving locals a real chance to secure a residence close to the beachfront.

The HAL Architect-designed project will offer a diverse range of residences, from one-, two, and three- bedroom apartments to the premium Canopy range to luxury penthouses.

<img alt="Vivere" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c85f5a7e-a22f-4745-8def-400adb3c0b35" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-15%20at%209.53.43%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=OY.chur3BPExn1exQ2q8clHqWnW_CaBi" />

“The Gold Coast is undergoing a period of immense growth, with more people drawn to the incredible 
lifestyle that’s available, leading to strong growth in property prices,” said Christie Leet, founder of Sherpa 
Group.

“Our goal at Sherpa is to ensure locals are not priced out of the market in prime locations, which is why we 
created the Flourish collection.

“Flourish Vivere will form the next chapter in our portfolio, and we are so excited to be lodging the DA, marking our first project in Coolangatta.”

A signature of the Flourish developments is the communal rooftop. Flourish Vivere will showcase a private resident’s lounge, outdoor dining with barbecues and pizza ovens, heated pool, fully-equipped gym, and a wellness centre with sauna and steam room.

<img alt="Vivere" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c09372cc-aae6-4458-af2e-f291bd19a5e5" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-15%20at%209.53.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Sc_RLXl5jiff.tnadogXjQJ_WIpDjf3p" />

The project is strategically located to offer a walkable lifestyle, with the Strand shopping centre, cafes, restaurants, shops and the beach, all just a short stroll away.

“We have meticulously planned Vivere to build on the Flourish legacy, creating a truly special project,”&nbsp;Leet added.

“Wellness, lifestyle and community are at the forefront of every decision we make, and that has not 
changed for Vivere.”

With the DA now lodged with the Gold Coast City Council, Sherpa has moved quickly to secure LPS Group as the builder, offering buyers a level of certainty that is rarely seen in today’s market.

Sherpa has delivered 16 residential projects over the past seven years with a pipeline of $1 billion, with more under construction.

S&amp;S Projects is boosting its investment at Rainbow Bay to more than $1 billion after the prolific Gold Coast developer acquired a new site for $20.25 million and immediately laid plans for a new luxury apartment project in the sought-after precinct.

The site, which is the company’s fifth acquisition at Rainbow Bay in the past four years, will be home to the company’s largest project to date after delivering 3 sold-out projects and construction progresses on Radia worth a combined $215m. 
S&amp;S Projects is currently finalising plans for its latest strategic acquisition, a 1,518 sqm site located 209-213 Boundary Street in Coolangatta, with a development application expected to be lodged within weeks.

The luxury residential development will build on the company’s highly successful projects at Rainbow Bay, comprising Flow, Awaken, Esprit and Radia, with Radia currently under construction by Hutchinson Builders.

“We have been unflinching in our commitment to Rainbow Bay and the transformation we have helped drive in this incredible part of the Gold Coast, which is among the city’s most desirable residential locations,” said S&amp;S Projects founder and director Paul Gedoun.

“Our fifth project will reflect the best of what we have done so far to create a lifestyle precinct that is second to none.”

The latest development, which has yet to be named, is proposed to accommodate 88 luxury apartments in a design that will immerse residents in a unique wellness lifestyle that expands on the legacy of S&amp;S Project’s earlier developments at Rainbow Bay.

The development will feature an expansive rooftop garden and wellness centre with a resort- style pool, among a host of lifestyle amenities planned for residents.

“Rainbow Bay, with its beautiful, protected beach and alongside one of the world’s best surf breaks at Snapper Rocks, is the natural wellness heartland of the Gold Coast,” said Gedoun.

“We are taking every advantage to create a truly unique rooftop wellness experience with a natural feel for residents, offering stone features throughout and an underlying theme that emulates a botanical garden.”

The latest acquisition comes as S&amp;S Projects is at the completion of Esprit and construction continues on Radia, which are part of their significant portfolio undertaken by the company at Rainbow Bay since 2022.

The $215 million Radia, which comprises 38 apartments, is currently the flagship development by S&amp;S Projects at Rainbow Bay which is expected to be completed in 2027.

Jayde Pezet, of Pezet Matheson, which has managed sales and marketing for S&amp;S Projects across their Gold Coast portfolio, emphasised the developer’s commitment to continuous improvement and excellence.

“S&amp;S Projects continue to elevate the benchmark of luxury with each development," Pezet said.

“We have worked with S&amp;amp;S on their 4 other projects in Rainbow Bay and their approach reflects a team that is constantly learning, refining, and pushing the standard higher.

“Their hyper-local knowledge and deep expertise within the luxury property sector are what truly set them apart, allowing them to deliver projects that feel both globally sophisticated and authentically connected to their coastal environment”

S&amp;S Projects plans to officially launch its latest project at Rainbow Bay in the second half of this year.

“As we embark on our largest project yet, we have pulled out all stops to create another landmark development that truly reflects the relaxed southern Gold Coast lifestyle,” Gedoun added.

Japandi, an emerging design trend that combines Scandinavian functionality with Japanese rustic minimalism, remains relatively untested in Australia’s residential development market.

As developers look to differentiate their projects and offer something distinct to buyers, Brisbane-based developer Lantona has embraced the hybrid style for its recently launched Toowong apartment project, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/koya-residences-6-josling-street-toowong-qld-4066">Koya Residences</a>, with early response to the design proving positive.

Lantona entrusted Red Door Architecture and interiors practice Luma Design Co with delivering the Japandi brief. The approach blends Japanese minimalism with Scandinavian functionality, emphasising warm, restrained interiors, natural materials and clean lines. Drawing on the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi (beauty in imperfection) and the Scandinavian principle of hygge (comfort and cosiness), it creates serene, uncluttered and sustainable living environments.

These design principles are expressed throughout the Josling Street development, both in its exterior form and across the 40 one-, two- and three-bedroom residences within.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150787 project_image_fid=366229]

Koya reflects a deliberately scaled approach, with the five-storey form designed to align with the surrounding residential streetscape rather than dominate it.

“Koya is conceived as a building that sits comfortably within its surroundings. Every decision, from material selection to spatial planning, has been guided by long-term liveability and enduring relevance,” the developer said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150787 project_image_fid=366243]

Positioned within an established inner-west neighbourhood, the development sits near riverfront parklands and the Bicentennial Bikeway, while remaining within walking distance of Toowong Village and multiple public transport options connecting to the CBD, St Lucia and West End.

Lantona said the location was central to the project’s conception, pointing to Toowong’s balance of green space, transport access and proximity to major education institutions.

“<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/toowong-qld-4066">Toowong</a> combines river access, walkability, immediate CBD connection and a strong educational presence. That balance made it the obvious setting for Koya.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150787 project_image_fid=366230]

Communal amenity is concentrated on the rooftop, where a shared retreat will include a pool, dining areas and outdoor spaces oriented towards neighbourhood and city views. The design allows for both private use and small gatherings, extending the living environment beyond individual apartments.

Koya enters the market at a time when smaller-scale developments are becoming less common in established suburbs, with many recent projects in the suburb shooting for the sky.

In a nod of confidence,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/brisbane-builders">Brisbane Builders</a>&nbsp;has already commenced construction on the building, which is slated for completion in early 2027. Keenan &amp; Byrne is marketing Koya.

Warehouse

<html><body>
A national business has snapped up an industrial warehouse in Maddington, in the City of Gosnells for $3 million (plus GST).   The Davison Street property comprises a total of 7,640 square metres, with 2,761 square metres of building area.
The block is offered easy access to Tonkin, Roe and Albany Highways.
The property was listed by Ray White Commercial (WA) Sales and Leasing Agent Josh Sumner.    Mr Sumner said Maddington was traditionally a transport hub but it was hard to find an asset available of this stature.   “The property also appealed because it was a secure green title lot that’s set in the heart of the Maddington industrial precinct.
Other features included warehouse, office and amenities, canopy, five-ton gantry crane, 12 loading docks and security cameras. The asset also came with 15 roller doors, dual cross overs, container laydown area, ample power, three-phase power and transmitter aerials for communication.
It previously sold in 1988 for $475,000.

A part of the historic Cyclops toy factory in Sydney inner west is up for sale. 
The warehouse at 40-76 William Street in Leichhardt is being marketed by Knight Frank agent Demi Carigliano.
The 6,931sqm property consists of a 10,060sqm commercial building spanning four levels that is rented to a self-storage facility.
It is the last part of the original warehouse, with the remainder having been converted into apartments.
The remaining part of the old toy factory will be offered to the market for the first time in 30 years.
“Investors can either keep it in its current use as a self-storage building, reposition or re-adapt the existing building into a commercial or food and beverage hub or undertake a residential or commercial redevelopment of the site, subject to council approval," Demi Carigliano said.
He suggested the site has the potential to become a precinct similar to The Grounds of Alexandria, Tramsheds in Glebe or the Cannery in Rosebery.
There are no heritage restrictions on the property to prohibit or restrict development.

An inner-city property with three street frontages and potential development in Collingwood has been offered to the market.
Located at 4-12 Langridge Street, the property comprises a standalone brick warehouse with 358 sqm of internal space.
Set on a 368 sqm site, it is zoned Commercial 1 under the City of Yarra Planning Scheme.
It comes with a frontage of 39 metres, 24m to Langridge Street and 15m Little Oxford Street.
The property also features RSD access, off-street parking for up to six cars, and a third access point via a laneway at the rear.  
It is for sale subject to a five year lease, expiring March 2022, at a current rental of $81,120 per annum net.
While the tenant has a further five year lease option, a redevelopment clause provides the owner with the option to give 12 months’ notice to the tenant at any time after the fourth year of the initial term.  
According to marketing agents, Teska Carson’s Luke Bisset, George Takis and Matthew Feld, the property offers an opportunity for investors to acquire a well located freehold, situated in one of Melbourne’s most sought-after inner-city suburbs. 
Mr Takis said the favourable Commercial 1 zoning and multi-storey height precedent provided scope for a multitude of development options.

A local owner-occupier has snapped up a freestanding warehouse in Clyde for $1,255,000.
It sold for a substantial amount over its reserve, $215,000.
The property at <a href="http://ecomms.raywhite.com/collect/click.aspx?u=jRYOrR8N39QzG/Nyy8oj1MsQ8lDBqOLeGnfqPgIdmzmVW8USMH2yRIkL23sKlvcw9AAv2bvY52GmBAZy16vj3BhYNz9cFD6gPPo3wtw9Tl6rxxyOSnKBeNH55VYGKsEZcw68SVLD5QlbW5rX1oZoHg==&amp;rh=ff00500ae78142c04938e3ab6e45ae1ee58c25f0" target="_blank" data-auth="NotApplicable">4 Marsh Street</a> comes with a 466sqm building area and 493sqm land area.
It had been occupied by an established tenant for the last 18 years.
The property was sold by Ray White Commercial NSW – Western Sydney Director Joseph Assaf and Associate Director Sam Bechara.
Mr Assaf said because of recent re-zoning in the immediate proximity to mixed-use residential, industrial properties in the area had become harder to come-by.

“There’s a real shortage of properties like this one, and that showed during the campaign with more than 80 enquiries and 31 contracts issued.
“We had eight bidders battling it out on the day, with the opening bid starting at $850,000, before climbing all the way up to the sale price of $1,255,000.
“The buyer had been looking for a property of this type in the area for a while and plans to occupy in the future for mechanical business purposes.” 
The asset offered a warehouse and office area, roller door access, high clearance, three-phase power, three on-site car parks, and truck access.

AN office/warehouse, home to Aussie BBQs and Fireplaces, has sold in the Brisbane suburb of Murarrie for $1.5 million.   The asset, that came with a 373sqm warehouse, 101sqm office and 176sqm BCC approved mezzanine, was sold prior to the campaign.   The property at <a id="LPlnk653855" href="http://ecomms.raywhite.com/collect/click.aspx?u=jRYOrR8N39QzG/Nyy8oj1MsQ8lDBqOLeTQsiE01fqr/solIqpVIvdP83k7zG6scvFJR3lBLs6EP8p8fDxW07cOZKmN1ZWpzXrNGthulOWQkmy0a32H20ywEnCCLBt0rhffUOWhowq+mPMTvpsoQwA7np2MeE2DIk&amp;rh=ff004e92be2b21d14f55af79ab48a4b19580bcfd" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable">10/210 Queensport Road North</a> was marketed and sold by Ray White Commercial TradeCoast Industrial Sales and Leasing Manager Jared Doyle and Sales and Leasing Executive Jack Gwyn.   Mr Doyle said it was thanks to the intervention of Ray White Commercial Queensland’s Director - Sales John Dwyer that the property never made it to market. 
“We were going to run a formal marketing campaign but decided to run it through our databases first to offer our bank of investors a pre-campaign opportunity.   “John saw the details from our database mail-out and recommended it to a friend of his who was in the market for a solid investment property, and he ended up purchasing the property.   “Murarrie is one of the most sought-after industrial and commercial hubs due to its highly convenient proximity to the Port of Brisbane, Brisbane CBD and the Gateway Motorway, connecting you to Queensland's major arterial network."

“Aussie BBQs is a long-standing tenant and has occupied the premises for 12 years, but not only that, they’ve also recently executed a new 5+5-year lease,” he said.   “Murarrie’s Nautilus Business Park is a favourite for investors and this particular property delivers a current p.a. net income of $108,000 + outgoings + GST.

A two-storey Moorabool Street, Geelong building, once the John Daniel’s Ironmongery warehouse in the 1860s, has been listed for sale.
The bluestone frontage to Baylie Place is a piece of industrial heritage.
The former Mikasa outlet at 186 Moorabool St, which is hidden behind aluminium cladding, has been listed for auction on May 30.
McGrath, Geelong agent David Cortous holds the listing.
A price guide around $950,000 to $1.045 million has been set.
Mr Cortous said its history as a big warehouse with exposed timber beams could dictate buyers future plans.
Set on a 262 sqm block, it has about 560 sqm of floorspace.
“To be honest, I’ve got somebody looking at it for residential use,” he said. “Using the back entrance as the main facade, decking out the full top floor as a residence with a six-car garage at the bottom.”
The Moorabool St shopfront would be retained, he said.
“There’s a lot more inner city living, especially around the Little Ryrie St area,” he said.
The timber and stone elements warranted an A-listing from the Heritage Council, which lauded timber detailing often absent from the otherwise austere warehouses.
The property goes to auction on May 30 at 11am.

A Chermside property has been sold for $3.5million in an off-market deal to Centennial Industrial &amp; Logistics. 
The partially leased property had a new 10-year lease.
There was also an additional vacant building and a parcel of land for development at 594 Rode Road.
Totaling 10,860sqm, the site features two warehouses of 703sqm and 1,060 sqm at the rear of the site and a 270 sqm showroom.  
JLL Industrial agents Gibson Leembruggen and Fraser Power secured the sale. 
JLL has also been engaged to offer the building for lease and the refurbishment is underway for this tenancy.
“Centennial Industrial &amp; Logistics has invested considerable time in the area with this acquisition enabling them to consolidate a sizeable 4.3 ha holding across three adjoining properties,” said Mr Leembruggen.
“By controlling the neighbouring site they are able to unlock additional value by amalgamating the rear surplus land with 590 Rode Road. 
"Their intention is to develop a high-end industrial estate and land subdivision targeting small-to-medium size users with an end-value of approximately $30 million,” he said.
 “Given the proximity to the hospital, Westfield Chermside and exposure to Rode Road, the site may also offer the potential for higher end retail uses and potentially aged care options.” 
His colleague Fraser Power noted the lease to Allkind Joinery &amp; Glass is returning $160,000 per annum net. 
“The current occupier has called the site home for over 30 years,” he said.  
Centennial Industrial and Logistics is a sector specific, national property funds management group with offices in Sydney and Brisbane.
It has $180 million of investment and development assets under management.

<html><body>
A newly refurbished warehouse in the Gold Coast suburb of Nerang has sold pre-auction for $300,000.
The <a id="LPlnk782630" href="http://ecomms.raywhite.com/collect/click.aspx?u=jRYOrR8N39R+6hBQZ7yXMt0Z3VIjNMZGYr1PkEqKl6Ax+ys3ix4tNjtOaxdsC8ZBolhV+WJOtZo=&amp;rh=ff004bbdd2c5508a98e8d94d014a8aaa51810060" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable">3/21 Lawrence Drive</a> building has a 148 sqm building area along with a 35 sqm approved office mezzanine.
It was one of five units in the complex.   The property was sold by Ray White Commercial Gold Coast agents Jared Johnson and Lachlan Marshall.   Mr Johnson said the seller, who owns and runs his own local fridge panel installation company, was an owner occupier looking to downsize.   “The buyer is an owner occupier looking to upsize from his current space rented in Burleigh."
 He owns and runs Pratley Guitars, a local guitar designer and manufacturer, he said.   “We had an influx of interest from small businesses looking to purchase a property rather than renting.   “The asset was available as vacant possession.”
It was strategically positioned on one of Nerang’s busiest streets, with easy access to the M1 Pacific Motorway, from both the northbound and southbound entry points.   It provides an industrial height roller.

Nerang warehouse sells for $300,000

<html><body>
Hands were being raised furiously as a total of 26 bids saw a Clayton office/warehouse sell under the hammer on site at Unit 21, 1866 Dandenong Road, for $500,000.
With a 219 square metre total building area, <a href="https://www.raywhite.com/vic/clayton/2057662/" target="_blank">the vacant property</a> provided a balance of warehouse and office space, with three car parks on the title that included two undercover.
The property was marketed and sold by Ray White Commercial Oakleigh Sales and Leasing Consultants Joshua Colosimo and Paul Rizzo.
Colosimo said because the business park was so tightly-held, the sale figure reflected a return of $2,500 per square metre, a record price for the estate.
“There was a genuine buzz around the auction with a crowd of 40 people turning up, and the asset eventually sold to a local investor, who will look to lease the property out,” he said.

“The opening bid started at $350,000, and with competition for the site so strong, it was 25 bids later when it eventually sold for $500,000.”   Rizzo said the potential buyers understood the office/warehouse was in a prime location in one of Clayton's most tightly-held and highly sought after business parks.   “The property included a first floor office area of 80sq m* and had ample amenities including ground and first-floor toilets and shower,” he said.   “It also came with a container-height motorized roller door, three-phase power, alarm system, split system heating/cooling and had kitchenette facilities on both the ground and first floor.”
