The sale of a prominent consulting property in Rockingham has highlighted growing demand for coastal healthcare assets, with Sterling Property finalising the deal to an owner-occupier optometry group for $1,923,000 plus GST.
Located at 57 Thorpe Street, the 1,318sqm corner site includes 273sqm of improvements across seven consulting rooms, a large reception and waiting area, practice manager’s office, staff room and 20 on-site car bays.
The high-exposure building was sold with vacant possession and drew strong interest from medical and allied health users.
Sterling Property Managing Director Brian Neo said coastal precincts like Rockingham are emerging as key destinations for professional service operators seeking long-term premises in high-growth corridors.
“Consulting assets in accessible, lifestyle-oriented locations are being tightly pursued,” Mr Neo said.
“This property offered strong functionality, visibility and immediate suitability for medical and allied health use.”
Partner Simon Brady said the buyer, a national optometry provider, secured the site following a targeted campaign that generated multiple qualified enquiries.
“There was a high level of interest from health and medical operators wanting to establish in Rockingham’s growing professional precinct,” Mr Brady said.
“It’s corner location, internal configuration and zoning flexibility made it an ideal solution.”
The vendor, Dr Gerard Parkinson, said the experience working with Sterling Property was seamless from start to finish.
“Simon and Brian were brilliant throughout the process,” Dr Parkinson said.
“Their investor network, strategic advice and follow-through were exceptional, and they guided us all the way through to settlement with professionalism and care.”
The site is zoned Primary Centre Waterfront Village and includes dental-ready subfloor provisions, repurposable signage infrastructure and landscaped garden outlooks from treatment rooms.
Sterling Property continues to see elevated demand across coastal and suburban healthcare assets, particularly those offering vacant possession and future adaptability.
