19 Bell Street,
Preston, VIC 3072

POINT OF INTEREST:

A flagship manufacturing, retail or industrial facility that  dwarfs the new local Bunnings. There are two significant buildings to move into, three prominent street frontages to occupy, and one number to ring to inspect first. Originally, this 1950s post-war industrial site reflected the neighbours around it; brick, broad, and built to last. But recent improvements to the two buildings on 19 Bell Street meant that the stature remained, and the quality only got better.

BUILDING ONE:
Stretching to 8,472 sqm*, the floorplan is split between predominantly warehousing (8,217 sqm*) with a 162 sqm* production office on the ground floor and a modern dual-level office spanning 92 sqm*.
A brick building with a sawtooth roof, this structure has direction street frontage to Bell Street and Cope Street, with a triangle-shaped southern building alignment. The warehouse has three roller doors toward the east (Cope Street), while two raised loading docks and another roller door sit to the south. There’s a single gantry crane, an internal boiler house, and a brick divider that segments the warehouse into two bays — the north featuring a 3.6 m* clearance and the south with a 4.6 m* clearance.
The sawtooth roof has been recently upgraded with fibreglass inserts to allow natural light to flood in, and heavy machinery and exhaust systems are included throughout. Formerly operating as a carpet manufacturing facility it may suit various manufacturing or warehousing businesses.  

BUILDING TWO:
The bigger of the two, this 9,447 sqm* building is made up of 8,105 sqm* in warehousing, a 720 sqm* four-level storage tower, 360 sqm* dated two-level office or workshop, a modern office measuring 198 sqm*, and a 64 sqm* production office covering two-levels.
Also brick, but with a dual-pitched roof, building two fronts Sullivan and Cope Street and has two roller shutter doors. Two additional roller doors face the laneway between the buildings, and the pitched roof lines offer a minimum clearance of approximately 3.8 m* which rises by 10 or so metres in some parts. 
This specific warehouse has been essential in the storage, distribution, and manufacturing of carpets; obvious by the pallet racking throughout. Offices also offer separate workspaces, a boardroom, a lunch room with a kitchen, open-plan admin areas, male and female amenities, and a front foyer for visitors. 
Your neighbours are of similar manufacturing and commercial ilk, but Bunnings, Harvey Norman, JB Hifi, Beacon Lighting, and Officeworks have also called this pocket home. Whether driving or catching public transport, you’ll get here with time to spare. Sydney Road, Northern Ring Road, the Citylink and the Eastern Freeway are within a 7.5 km* radius, while buses stop outside the door and Bell railway station is 2.4 km* away. The other kind of walk will happen on Fridays, straight to Moon Dog World which sits around the corner.
