AUCTION SATURDAY 7TH OF NOVEMBER 2026 AT 10AM AWST
Held by the same family since 1979, this prominent corner property brings together five existing apartments, R-AC1 coding and a compelling opportunity to shape its next chapter.
Positioned at the corner of Stirling Highway and John Street, the property offers two street frontages, strong exposure and the surrounding amenity that makes Claremont such a desirable address.
The existing apartments require substantial renovation, presenting an opportunity for purchasers considering comprehensive refurbishment. For developers, the location and planning framework provide a strong basis to investigate a new mixed-use development, subject to approval.
PROMINENT POSITION. SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL.
Under the Town of Claremont’s Local Planning Scheme No. 3, as amended by Amendment No. 138, the property is within the Highway Zone and carries R-AC1 coding.
General R-AC1 controls identify a building-height benchmark of nine storeys and a plot ratio of 3.0, subject to the applicable planning framework and site-specific assessment. The amended scheme includes an objective for commercial uses at ground level, creating scope to explore a commercial frontage with residential apartments above.
The John Street frontage adds flexibility when investigating future design and vehicle access. Surrounding heritage residences and church buildings give the setting an established architectural character, offering inspiration for a development that contributes thoughtfully to the precinct.
THE CLAREMONT ADVANTAGE
Claremont Quarter and Bay View Terrace bring boutiques, everyday shopping, cafés and restaurants together in a vibrant town centre. Claremont Station and bus services along Stirling Highway connect the area with Perth, Fremantle and the wider western suburbs.
Education is a particular drawcard, with Christ Church Grammar School, Methodist Ladies College and Freshwater Bay Primary School within Claremont. Scotch College and St Hilda’s broaden the surrounding options, while the University of Western Australia is readily accessible in Crawley.
Freshwater Bay, riverfront reserves and Lake Claremont provide space to unwind, with Cottesloe and Swanbourne beaches adding coastal appeal. Together, these amenities create a compelling setting for future residents and a persuasive location story for developers.
Explore refurbishment or investigate redevelopment. Secure a prominent Claremont corner with an exceptional future to consider.
