Brand New ‘Hive Academy’ Childcare Investment in Morisset Business Park Hits Market

Stonebridge Property Group is proud to announce the launch of a brand new, purpose-built childcare centre located at 22 Kalaf Avenue, Morisset, within the thriving Morisset Business Park in Lake Macquarie, NSW.

Morisset is a designated Urban Development Area, set to benefit from significant infrastructure investment and population growth, with 415,000+ residents forecast by 2036. The area also boasts a $1 billion tourism sector, reinforcing its status as a high-growth corridor between Sydney and Newcastle.

The asset is underpinned by a 20 year net lease to 2045, with options extending to 2065, and features fixed 3% annual rental increases. The property delivers a strong net income of $554,500 per annum + GST, supported by Hive Academy, a boutique operator with over 30 years’ experience and a rapidly expanding network of centres.

Purpose-built in 2025, the centre is licensed for 120 places and occupies a substantial 3,840 sqm site with 36 on-grade car parks, offering maximum depreciation benefits and land tax exemption. The location is strategically positioned just off a major arterial road carrying 59,820+ vehicles daily, and within a 10-minute drive of five primary schools.

Commenting on the launch, Stonebridge Partner Tom Moreland said, “An asset of this calibre is expected to generate national attention, with childcare considered to be one of the leading asset classes of 2025 and no sign of easing buyer demand. As an ‘essential needs’ style asset, the property will benefit from Morisset’s sustained population growth and represents a first-class example of a highly resilient and defensive investment vehicle.”

Stonebridge Partner, Michael Collins added, “The combination of a 20 year lease, fixed rental growth, and a high-growth location are expected to be sought after fundamentals in the national market, attracting local, Sydney-based and interstate private investors.”

‘Hive Academy Morisset (Lake Macquarie) is for sale via Expressions of Interest closing Thursday, 19 February at 3pm (AEDT).
