The 2292sq m site at 113D Newmarket Rd, Windsor, which is accessed via Oakwal Lane, was purchased for $1.2 million in a deal brokered by Raine & Horne Commercial’s Trent Bruce and his southside colleague Joseph Grasso.

Mr Bruce recently sold two nearby properties on the corner of Cox and Newmarket roads for $1.85 million. ‘‘Slowly but surely Windsor is changing,’’ he said. ‘‘It’s not far from the CBD, near the Airport Link and tunnels. ‘‘It’s early days but we can see it changing in the very near
