Presentation Sisters Victoria offer former Presentation College site located Dandenong Road Windsor for sale after 150 years of ownership with market expectations in excess of $50million.

Occupying a significant 1.89ha site, the property includes the historic and beautifully maintained former Presentation Convent, chapel and surrounding gardens. The opportunity exists to thoughtfully integrate a masterplan that embraces the extraordinary attributes of the property, enabling a redevelopment to last another 150 years.

Presentation Sisters Victoria has appointed Colliers International as exclusive agents for the sale, which is expected to commence in March 2025.

Colliers agents Jozef Dickinson and John Marasco will be managing the sale and commented, “We are extremely proud to represent Presentation Association Inc. on this really important assignment.”

The property will be announced to the market officially in the coming weeks as ‘Windsor Hall’ and will be made available via a Public Expressions of Interest campaign.

“Windsor Hall is precisely what appeals to developers. It’s a significant site of scale that can support a variety of uses. The site is further bolstered with Windsor Station having now been identified within the State Government’s second tranche of ‘Train and Tram Zone’ Activity Centres’ that will help deliver more than 300,000 additional homes close to Jobs, services and transport by 2051,” said Jozef Dickinson.

Situated in the vibrant suburb of Windsor, five kilometres from Melbourne's CBD, the property is underpinned by key fundamentals of public transport connectivity, convenience, and retail amenities. Positioned in an attractive residential location, the site's proximity to Windsor activity centre along Chapel Street makes it desirable and perfect for diverse development.

“We are expecting strong engagement from buyers, particularly from residential and retirement/aged-care developers. This is a genuine once in a lifetime opportunity,” Mr Dickinson added.

Colliers National Director | Capital Markets, John Marasco, noted, "The current property market presents a unique set of opportunities. The demand for quality assets remains robust. With its rich history and prime location, properties like Windsor Hall are highly sought-after.

Colliers agents Jozef Dickinson, John Marasco, and Philip Heberling are managing the Public Expressions of Interest (EOI) process of Windsor Hall, located at the corner of Hornby Street and Dandenong Road in Windsor.

Presentation Sisters Victoria commented,  After such a long ownership and proud history, the time has come for the Presentation Sisters Victoria to look at the next chapter and continue its important work elsewhere.

This decision has not been made lightly, given the significant history of the College and its deep affiliation with the Presentation Sisters story and mission over several decades. The closure of the school in 2020 and the recent conclusion of a lease by St Mary’s College were also factors in the decision.

“While difficult, the decision gives us the opportunity to continue to support our legacy projects” said Sr Helen Carboon, Presentation Sisters Victoria Congregation Leader.

“It is our intention that the proceeds be directed towards initiatives that support women, children and vulnerable communities, including continuing our work in education and community services, reflecting our historical involvement with these important causes.

Presentation Sisters Victoria is committed to finding credible buyers and will strive for the best possible outcome and has appointed Colliers International as exclusive agents for the sale, which is expected to commence in March 2025.
