Ref:2116 | Childcare Centre for Lease | Upper North Shore Sydney | 88 Places | State-of-the-Art

Overview

State-of-the-art, purpose-built childcare centre for lease in one of Sydney’s most prestigious Upper North Shore suburbs. Approved for 88 licensed places. Brand-new build with institutional-grade fit-out, expansive outdoor play and on-site basement parking. Ready for an experienced operator to commence operations immediately.

Location

One of Sydney’s most established and affluent family suburbs, on the Upper North Shore. Direct frontage to a major arterial road with high passing-traffic exposure. Two railway stations within easy walking distance. Surrounded by Sydney’s most established educational catchment, including elite independent and public schools. Median household incomes among the highest in Greater Sydney.

Potential

A rare opportunity to secure a marquee childcare site in Sydney’s prestige Upper North Shore — a catchment characterised by sustained, inelastic demand for premium Long Day Care. The property’s planning approval is exceptionally difficult to replicate locally, creating a strong moat against new supply. With a brand-new, purpose-built facility, a generous 1,744 sqm site, on-site basement parking and a long-term lease horizon (up to 23 years), the centre is well positioned to ramp enrolments quickly under the right operator. The existing 88-place Service Approval and full FF&E may be acquired separately from the current licensee at a favourable price (optional, independent of the lease), offering a turn-key pathway to opening.

Approvals

A Childcare Provider Approval and Service Approval are required to operate the Centre. The existing 88-place Service Approval may be acquired separately from the current licensee at a favourable price, accelerating speed-to-market. Alternatively, incoming operators may obtain their own approvals. For operators without an existing Provider Approval, a franchise / licence pathway with provider approval assistance may be available.

Hours

Proposed operating hours: Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM – 6:00 PM (Long Day Care, subject to service approval).

Lease

Long-term lease available direct from the landlord — 11-year initial term plus a 12-year option (up to 23 years total tenure). 3% fixed annual rent reviews. Rent-free incentive negotiable. Bank Guarantee equivalent to 3 months’ gross rent + GST + outgoings. Personal guarantees required from directors (where lessee is a company). Full terms provided under Confidentiality Agreement.

Employees

Offered vacant — no operating staff in place. Incoming operator to recruit and build their own team.
