Buyers Beware The residential property market is heading into a perfect storm. Another 20% drop in price could be conservative. Why? Confidence and Credit are two critical building blocks to capital growth; both are under severe pressure. Therefore, buying off-the-plan apartments in the current property market could be a financial disaster. There is a long way for this downward trend to go. We Have a Sound and Practical Solution Firstly, Investors need to acknowledge what has been is no longer, and it is time to rethink and move on. Australia is a very different place to what it was just ten years ago, and this trend will continue. Investors need to recognise the only way to make money in the residential property market over the next property circle will be to create a different model; now is the time to prepare, not act, but prepare to become a contrarian Investor. We Believe that Great Opportunities Come Out of Great Problems We have been patiently waiti...

A Proactive Approach to Greater Profits in Property Investment In order to clarify the benefits of the proactive approach, first we need to glance back a little and lay a foundation. Since 1991 investors have flocked to invest into the new wave of city apartments. The attraction was very compelling at the time for numerous reasons. The market place for accommodation requirements was showing signs of change. There were new markets emerging that never existed to any degree before, such as the female market, the short-term business accommodation market which became the serviced apartment industry and the Asian education/student accommodation market. Downsizing middle aged couples along with an increasing percentage of single occupancy dwellings played its part. Also contributing were more families owning two properties, with wealth came the opportunity to own a beach house or acreage property plus an inner-city apartment. Further to this was an eager state Government keen to keep ...

Mollard Property Group are proud to have achieved a planning permit on this highly complex site for a 100-place childcare centre in Kensington, Victoria! The heritage commercial building, carriageway easement and car parking requirements posed challenges to our team, however the risks were mitigated through an in-depth analysis, fully considered planning and design.

25 Years On! Victoria Albert Town Residence (VATR) was and still is a substantial high-quality residential development. This landmark site not only remains tightly held but is as attractive today, as the day it was built. Unlike most residential developments that were built around the same period in 1990's, it has certainly stood the test of time. The historic buildings of Victoria Brewery (1882) were retained and restored, and complemented by brand new townhouses, apartments and penthouses. Phil Mollard was a joint venture partner and the pioneer behind this outstanding project, which was the first at the time with no 1-bedroom apartments and a large proportion of 3- and 4-bedroom apartments, with quality communal areas on-site. The Victoria Albert fits well in East Melbourne, deemed the most liveable suburb in the world's most liveable city. www.mollard.com.au

The largest Victorian childcare sale for 2018 recently SOLD by CBRE for $9,500,000, was sourced and secured for development by Mollard Property.

This high exposure corner site is a strong example that strategic location of childcare centres in demand-driven areas is key to a project’s overall success. Mollard Property are delighted with this result, a job well done by the sales team at CBRE. www.mollard.com.au
