Fitzroy Brunswick St

A commercial, multi-use property on Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, found and styled by AG & Co. for a couple who wanted one property to do two jobs: a base for their business and a short-stay Airbnb.

Brunswick Street suits this kind of property, with its steady foot traffic and its mix of shops, cafes and visitors. We searched for a commercial property that could work for both uses, secured it for the couple, then styled the Airbnb space so it photographs well and feels welcoming to guests. The Airbnb now generates around $90,000 a year in income for them, alongside the business.

South Melbourne Glover Street

Client is from QLD and was looking for an investment property close to where her son lives and can accomodate her and husband when she visits in Melbourne. We managed to find her a newly built townhouse a street away from where her son lives. Also, as she wanted flexibility and access to her property when she needed, traditional rental is out of the question. Hence, we setup and styled her property post settlement for BnB. Property currently earns $75k per annually on Airbnb and that includes her staying in the property one week every quarter.

A charming white 3 bedroom weatherboard cottage on Charles Street, St Kilda. AG & Co. was brought in to consult on and style the property for short-stay.

The particular property we secured can accomodate 4 x 4 bedroom good sized townhouses and meets the feasibility requirements of the client. We managed the construction of the development and also currently manage the BnB.

Property purchased in Hawthorn Scotch Hill with a short walk to train station, shops as well as schools. Client wants to be near Scotch College and this particular site suits their requirement as it’s only a minute walk to Scotch College and faces part of their sporting grounds. We achieved 4 x 4 bedroom townhouses on this site and all pre-sold prior to construction mainly to local residences.

We secured this property as it represented an opportunity for the client to either develop and potentially retain a few units for finance purposes or ultimately re-sell with plans and permits to make a profit. As this property was zoned high density when we bought it, it allowed our architects to be quite aggressive during planning to achieve 6 x 3 bedroom townhouses which was a very respectable outcome for our client.
