Commercial property | J C Investment Venture Portfolio

Leasing and operations on East Melbourne assets.

Leasing

Negotiations focus on net effective rent, outgoings, make-good, expansion rights, and handover condition.

Renewals typically begin 12–18 months before expiry.

We issue LOI-ready summaries with incentive mechanics, bank guarantee expectations, and fit-out approval steps.

Operations

Capex is classified as maintenance or upgrade with different approval paths.

Tenant fit-outs are reviewed against fire, structure, and access rules before works start.

Assets operated at 1 Nicholson Street & 176 Wellington Parade, East Melbourne VIC 3002.

Frequently asked questions

Commercial property and leasing.

How is rent quoted on a net lease?

Quotes separate face rent, outgoings methodology, insurance, and any incentives. We model net effective rent over the proposed term so finance teams can compare options on a like-for-like basis.

When should we start a renewal discussion?

For terms above five years, begin 12–18 months before expiry. Early dialogue protects expansion rights, make-good planning, and capex scheduling in common areas.

What should we bring to a first tour?

Headcount range, industry use, IT load assumptions, preferred move-in date, and any expansion horizon. Photos of existing fit-out help us estimate make-good and handover scope.

Can we expand within the same building later?

At 176 Wellington Parade we regularly structure staged suites with written expansion measurement. At 1 Nicholson Street, larger floor plates suit headquarters and reception-heavy uses.
