Lygon Street Family Dental – Comes to Lygon Street

Lygon Street Family Dental – Comes to Lygon Street

Lygon Family Dental has opened its new practice at 137 Lygon Street, Brunswick East. The team at Placeplan Property Services are pleased to have been part of the newest dental practice to arrive in Brunswick East. After a focused leasing campaign the space was successfully leased and to a business committed to its long term success. Placeplan (representing the owner) was keen to see a high quality community service provider compliment the already diverse retail offering on what is now one of Melbourne’s high quality main streets. The arrival and establishment of Lygon Family Dental exactly fitted the owners desire to secure a quality business that will make the space at 137 Lygon Street a successful business proposition and one that delivers on the needs of the local community. The benefits of the retail space at 137 Lygon Street were many and had received a lot of interest from a wide range of businesses, mainly from the service sectors. The owners of the dental practice were able to work with a brand new building that provided a “clean slate” including state of the art heating/cooling, carparking, access, security and the opportunity to provide modern signage to the all-important Lygon Street, Brunswick East frontage. Lygon Family Dental has set up state of the art facilities purpose designed to meet the modern needs of a local dental practice and the practice can provide digital X-Rays and OPG (Orthopantomogram). The design of the new practice was cleverly delivered to maximise convenience and patient comfort. There has been a definite trend back in recent years to more a user friendly personalised dental practice...
Investing in Commercial Real-Estate

Investing in Commercial Real-Estate

We know commercial real estate has a number of advantages over other investments, such as longer leases resulting in secure income streams and rents that can be agreed and substantially grown over time. On the flip side, finding the right tenant is critical to the success of your investment. We believe matching tenants to the right property and helping them conduct their business to generate success will translate in a good long term commercial property investment. Anyone considering investing in commercial property has a number of choices. Land Industrial Commercial Specialised Uses – Retail, Medical, Child Care   To get started, you need to understand why you are investing and we always advise our clients to map out and agree their exit strategy before they commit to a property. In other words “know where the back door is before you go through the front door”. You don’t have to be a developer, but your exit strategy should revolve around making sure your investment can be converted to some other use once the market is ready – e.g. a small local shop may be developed to include apartments above it. For any commercial property we look at, we follow a step by step process to dig deep and uncover any aspects of the property that will impact on delivering a safe and secure income stream, that may be related to the structure of the leases, the type and mix of tenants right through to the condition of the building and any associated parking. We have conducted due diligence on hundreds of properties, we are experienced investors and client advisors and...
