Collingwood Foy & Gibson warehouse conversion for sale
Foy & Gibson warehouse conversions are some of Melbourne’s best.
A warehouse apartment in Collingwood’s heritage-listed Foy & Gibson building has a rich history that sets it apart from other industrial-style pads on the market.
Belle Property Carlton & Melbourne principal director Scott McElroy said “warehouse conversion” was thrown around a lot, but 13/170 Oxford St was “the genuine article”.
“When something’s got 3m ceilings and a bit of red brick it’s (called) a warehouse, but that’s not always true,” Mr McElroy said.

One of three bedrooms.

The balcony gets the sun.
The spacious three-bedroom, two-bathroom pad on the market for $1.45m-$1.55m was built above the former factory and warehouse complex established by the Foy & Gibson department store empire – and is one of only 14 in the building.
“This street is probably one of the best examples of warehouses apartments in the whole city,” Mr McElroy said.
“It’s a very special part of Melbourne.”
He also likened the precinct to New York’s famous SoHo and Meatpacking districts, with plenty of trendy cafes, breweries and eateries nearby.

Another bright bedroom.
Light yet private.
The top-floor home features an “expansive open-plan living room” with space to entertain in the central kitchen, in addition to a large and private terrace balcony.
Timber floors, high ceilings and wide windows also allow for natural light.
“The bedrooms are all great sizes – a lot of three-bedroom apartments you find, they are all on top of each other,” Mr McElroy added.
“Whereas here everything is in its right place, it’s a really good layout.”
He said downsizers who had recently snapped up a lifestyle property were already circling the listing as a potential city base.
