The CFA’s lease expires in April.
The CFA is believed to be moving its district 13 headquarters to Mooroolbark.
Ray White Commercial Nunawading director Brett Diston says the office fit-out and land size made it a popular property.
“It’s something they (EACH) have been looking for in the eastern region for a while and haven’t been able to find,” Diston says.
“Interest was strong throughout the campaign … three competitive final offers reflected what the site has to offer now, and its future potential.”

It features 14 offices in a 510sq m building, a large shed and 40 car spaces.
CoreLogic records show it last changed hands for $525,000 in 1999.
