Operator buys former Calvary Hallam aged care home, speculated $5.9m

Real Estate Source reports that Calvary acquired the property in 2021 as part of its acquisition of Japara Healthcare. It previously operated as Japara Hallam and, before that, Hallam Residential Care. Calvary closed the facility in 2024, with the outlet reporting Calvary’s reason as the building’s design and infrastructure, which it said needed major renovation to suit current aged care.

The report says the Box Hill deal came about six weeks earlier.

The numbers

The outlet gives the price as a speculated $5.9 million, so it is not a confirmed figure.

• Site: 8,093 square metres, zoned General Residential.
• Building: 2,070 square metres, described as modern.
• Capacity: 58 beds, with the outlet listing 12 single rooms and 23 double rooms, plus 26 car parks.
• Facilities: a lounge, dining rooms and recreation areas.
• Location: about 225 metres from the Monash Freeway, three kilometres from Westfield Fountain Gate and 36 kilometres from the Melbourne CBD.

The sale was handled by Savills agents Julian Heatherich, James Latos and Beau Bakhtani, according to the report. The outlet’s piece is by Marc Pallisco and is dated 10 November 2026.

What’s next

The sale sits in a run of aged care site deals the outlet has covered. Real Estate Source points to its earlier report of a Box Hill Best Western purchase by an interstate aged care operator, who plans to occupy it once repurposed. For a separate aged care site story, see Keyton’s Mt Martha villa plan.

The report does not state what the buyer plans for the site, and the outlet’s account of the marketing is the only guide to options. Marketing for the property highlighted development potential, including townhouses. The agents also suggested the existing building could be converted for specialist disability accommodation, or extended onto a vacant strip at the western edge.
