221m² GB5-zoned building on Albert Road, Salt River. Street-facing, double-storey property ideal for commercial or redevelopment use.
This freestanding, street-front building sits right on Albert Road—one of Salt River’s busiest commercial corridors. With a 221m² footprint and General Business 5 zoning, it’s suited to a wide range of commercial uses and redevelopment plays, including retail, offices, or a resi-commercial hybrid (subject to council permissions).
The ground floor is currently split into three commercial units. One trades as Gallery Gisele Hair Salon with pavement activity; the others are either shuttered or informally tenanted. The first floor is used for residential purposes and shows signs of long-term occupation. The structure itself is solid but aged—masonry walls, exposed wiring, and a street-facing balcony supported by visible columns.
Security features include mesh gates, burglar bars, and barbed wire along the street entry. While the building could use both cosmetic and structural upgrades, its visibility, zoning, and location make it a prime candidate for repositioning.
The area’s shifting fast. Salt River’s full of light-industrial buildings, owner-run businesses, creatives, and an increasing number of refurb projects. Add to that its proximity to the Old Biscuit Mill, Salt Circle Arcade, and major transport routes, and it’s clear why this strip has caught investor attention.
Keep in mind: the property may fall within a heritage or urban conservation overlay zone—so façade and structural work will need to comply accordingly. That said, the historic fabric of this precinct is one of its biggest drawcards.
Features:
- Zoned GB5: Wide commercial rights
- 221m² freehold building
- Two-storey with street presence
- Mix of formal and informal tenants
- Secured street-level entrance
- Close to Salt River Station
There’s no mistaking this building. With its mustard-yellow façade, weathered finishes, and lived-in presence, 523 Albert Road holds its place in Salt River’s gritty and fast-changing streetscape. Its double-storey frontage has become part of the local rhythm—bookended by other older commercial structures and deeply embedded in the area’s day-to-day foot traffic. This isn’t a polished high street address, but rather a working property in a working neighbourhood—where street trade, long-standing tenants, and local character carry real value.
Salt River itself has been undergoing steady renewal, with The Old Biscuit Mill, Salt Circle, and nearby creative hubs drawing attention to the area’s development potential. This building, likely subject to heritage or urban conservation oversight, sits within that context—ideal for an investor or owner-occupier looking to revitalise a property while respecting its role in the streetscape. Whether reimagined for retail, residential, or hybrid use, it offers solid fundamentals: strong location, flexible zoning, and authenticity that can’t be faked.
