Cashed up investors are expected to swoop on a rather unique offering in the outer east — a Coles and Kmart store.

Vendor Coles has put the stores up for sale, via international expressions of interest.

According to real estate company CBRE, the outlets on the corner of Floriston and Chandler roads, near Boronia Mall, have a net income of about $2,050,000 per annum.

Coles has a lease until 2031 and Kmart until 2025.

There are 325 car spaces in front of the stores, and more than 700 in the nearby multi-level carpark.

CBRE director of investments Mark Wizel, who is marketing the property with senior director of retail investments Justin Dowers, said he expected a strong response from hungry and cashed up investors.

Mr Dowers said both tenants were performing above industry benchmarks, showing year on year growth, while Kmart was “significantly under-rented”.

“Like most parts of Melbourne, Boronia has seen strong population growth and will continue to benefit from that growth, providing retailers and other businesses with confidence in the region’s long-term prospects,” he said.

The stores are for sale via international expressions of interest closing October 24.
