The sale of the 100sqm shop, which is in a Commercial 1 zone, includes a five-year tenancy for the family business, according to Walshe & Whitelock sales agent Jane Sowersby.

Maltese savoury treat pastizzi has been a hit in Pascoe Vale.

“With the lease attached to the sale, we’ve mainly had investors looking at the property,” she says.

“They’ll probably hold it and watch it grow in value, aiming for good capital growth.”

The 95sqm single-level brick building includes a large kitchen with commercial-grade fridges and ovens, as well as a toilet at the rear of the block.

Delicious savoury pastry is baked at Anthony’s Pastizzi store.

Sowersby says the shopping strip at Pascoe St, which is opposite Westbreen Primary School, is “only getting better”.

“People have bought trays of pastizzi here for years,” she says.

“So we expect a good result from this sale.”
