The vacant 1000 square metre showroom warehouse is on a 1250 square metre block and sold after an auction.

About two years ago Binks listed a major car dealership in Footscray, in Melbourne’s inner west. That site was expected to sell for about $8.5 million.
]]> Binks also listed the former ETA Factory in 2008, expected to reap it some $4 million.

Colliers International marketed the West Footscray showroom.

Former Mirvac and Stockland executive Cameron Alderson’s latest development proposal, Canopi, aims to solve housing affordability issues by offering efficiently designed townhouses on small “inner-city” size blocks of around 175 square metres.
 
Canopi, at the end of Lae Street, will include 43 townhouses each including three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two car spots and a rear courtyard. Kingsford Property is marketing the townhouses, which range in price from $479,000 to $550,000.

]]> Mr Alderson, who is now a partner with boutique property developer Red.C, said Canopi “solves problems faced by Federal, State and Local Governments struggling to provide accessible housing and amenities in the wake of rapid population growth.”
 
Footscray West is seven kilometres west of town. The Canopi site is walking distance to the Tottenham train station, the Central West Shopping Centre, and the Yarraville and Seddon shopping villages.
