Fitzroy

CAFE & ROOFTOP BAR | DUAL-LEVEL HOSPITALITY & CORPORATE CATERING HUB

Description

Equipment / Asset purchase and Leasehold: The Opportunity A rare chance to acquire a sophisticated, high-volume hospitality ecosystem located within one of Melbourne’s most prestigious, award-winning commercial developments. This is a turnkey, asset-rich sale consisting of a ground-floor flagship cafe and a premier rooftop bar/function space.
The Captive Audience Forget the uncertainty of street-front retail. This business is the exclusive hospitality provider for a 8-level vertical village:
• 2,000+ Daily Occupants: A built-in customer base of high-income professionals.
• 300+ Private Offices: A massive, recurring pipeline for internal corporate catering.
• High-End Environment: Situated in a world-class working environment that attracts premium tenants and blue-chip corporate clients.

The Venue Pillars
• Flagship Ground Floor Cafe: The high-traffic “lobby heart” of the building, servicing the daily coffee and culinary needs of 2,000 tenants. Includes access to a 120-pax event space for seminars and activations.
• Level 8 Destination Rooftop: A stunning, licensed bar for 150 patrons featuring unobstructed 360-degree views of the Melbourne CBD. An elite venue for corporate functions, private launches, and sunset cocktails.

The Asset Transfer
This is an asset-heavy sale. The purchaser will own 100% of the high-spec plant and equipment, including:
• State-of-the-art commercial kitchen designed for high-volume catering.
• Specialty coffee infrastructure and premium bar fit-outs.
• Designer furniture and architectural fixtures across both levels.

Strategic Growth Potential While currently highly profitable as a weekday corporate operation, a top-tier operator can immediately scale by:

1. Aggressive Catering Expansion: Dominating the internal catering needs of the 300+ in-house businesses.

2. Reactivate the extended corner location with footpath traffic and alfresco dining.

3. Rooftop Activation: Transforming the rooftop into a weekend/evening destination for the general public.

4. Event Synergy: Leveraging the ground floor and rooftop for dual-level large-scale events.

The Deal
• Type: Leasehold Business Sale.
• Location: Prime Fitzroy/City Fringe (Specific location disclosed under NDA).
• Inclusions: All assets, licenses, and long-term leasehold.

Ideal For: A seasoned hospitality group, a high-end catering specialist, or a quality operator looking for a high-margin, stable business model with massive upside.
