Private investor George Saade has listed five shops built into the ground floor of Prahran’s former Station Hotel.
Returning total annual rent of $442,769, the portfolio, branded The Greville Street Collection, is expected to sell for about $8 million.
Individually, the retail investments at 92-106 Greville Street carry price guides of between $500,000 and $4 million.
Melbourne Acquisitions’ Dominic Gibson and James Latos with Allard & Shelton’s Michael Ryan and Joseph Walton will auction the properties separately on March 25.
Mr Saade paid the Liberman family $4.5 million for the double storey Prahran hotel in 2007.
The builder closed the venue in 2012, and between 2013 and 2015 constructed and sold down an apartment complex on part of the block.
The pub, built in 1904, was refitted as retail and leased out.
Prahran is about six kilometres from the city.
In the immediate area, Little Projects in 2018 teamed with the owner of a brick warehouse at 17-22 Grattan Street, opposite Grattan Gardens, to propose a seven-storey residential building with 55 dwellings.
A $60 million park, Prahran Square (pictured, bottom), also opened recently, nearby.
Replacing the Cato Street car park, which was sunk underground, the public space includes nine zones designed to cater for gatherings of various sizes, a central square with water feature, themed gardens, feature seating and retail and hospitality spaces.
