The site (outlined), opposite Port of Melbourne, has been the subject of a rezone.

EXCLUSIVE

Kinkora Investments, the new name for KM Property Funds, has picked up an industrial outdoor storage site beside the former Melbourne Market.

The asset manager paid $35.2 million for the 2.78 hectare property, 642-658 Footscray Road, West Melbourne.

With 21,254 square metres in several buildings, it has been occupied decades by L Arthur Transport Services.

Two hundred metres from the Port of Melbourne and twice that to a rail freight terminal, the land and two neighbouring parcels (632-640 and 660-670 Footscray Rd) have since 2022 been endorsed for a rezone, to open space (continues below).

Kinkora recently bought a Laverton North site as an IOS investment.

The deal comes a month since we reported Kinkora outlaid $64.2m for a 12.47ha Laverton North site, also with plans for an IOS investment.

Offered by Swiss listed Holcim with a part-leaseback, that property will be held by a $500m Starwood Capital backed mandate.
