2024 Building


The owners of the Hill of Content bookshop are optimistic they will remain at their famous 100-year-old location in Melbourne's CBD after the building sold to an offshore investor.

The three-storey property at 86 Bourke Street changed hands for $5.3 million, commercial real estate agent JLL said. The new buyer plans to continue leasing it out as a shop.

The building had been owned by the same family for 73 years and has been home to the Hill of Content, which is on a month-to-month lease, since 1922.

Hill of Content owner and manager Diana Johnston said the business would have continued in another location if forced to move, but she was confident it would now be able to stay.
