Fiona and I decided to research alternative premises down and around Docklands today, having finished grieving over losing the place we really wanted. We printed off a bunch from realcommercial.com.au and drove over this morning. Nothing really grabbing us, poor locations, wrong size - some are advertised but not even built yet. Which can make finding them difficult, a problem compounded by real estate agents' complete inability to spell. There were at least two places that I tried to find on Google Map without success. Then later discovered the agent had spelt the street name wrong.
One place we thought might be a possibility is just up the road from the shop we originally wanted. Rang the agent on the sign, explained our predicament about losing the one we wanted. She then floored me by sounding surprised and saying that in fact her company was handling that shop - and has been for a couple of months, so all a bit weird that the other agent was still organising onsite inspections as late as last week. So might be some life signs after all.
We've emailed off to her copies of the Heads of Agreement we'd dicussed with the other agent, she's come back to say that she can take an expression of interest to the owner. I think the priority right now is to get our architects through so we can try and get a better grip on costs, before we commit to a formal lease offer.
