ANNOUNCED

Office launched at Williams Landing

ASX-listed developer Cedar Woods Properties Limited have announced the launch of Level 6 at Hudson Hub, the sixth stand-alone office building for its Williams Landing development located in Melbourne’s western growth corridor.

Hudson Hub has experienced strong sales since launching in June 2023 – with over 60% of the released suites now sold – and Level 6 is set to cater to the continuing demand for large, flexible commercial spaces expressed by purchasers.

Cedar Woods’ Victorian State Manager James Bovell says that this demand for large, quality office space has largely come from the local community, with the premium Level 6 suites specifically designed to facilitate the growth of small and medium businesses already established in Williams Landing:

“With a significant number of our purchasers being local owner-occupiers, we know that they are looking for a space that will help them put down roots in the community and fit around their lifestyle. With this in mind, we specifically designed Level 6 to cater to long-term occupancy with flexible floor plates that grow and change with a business.”

While Hudson Hub has attracted a varied range of purchasers – including investors and owner-occupiers – the majority are local to Williams Landing, residing within a 5km radius of the Williams Landing Town Centre.

LEASED
