Richmond icon Dustin Martin and entrepreneur Chris Bissiotis have listed a prominent inner Melbourne building with $4m-plus price hopes.
Records show the triple-Premiership player and Mr Bissiotis, former director of wholesale distributor and brand management company Pacific Optics, own the Abbotsford site.
In 2024, Martin retired from the AFL after a career which saw him receive the 2017 Brownlow Medal, plus multiple Norm Smith Medals and Jack Dyer Medals from Richmond as its best and fairest player.

Apart from his sporting success, Martin has amassed an impressive commercial property portfolio across more than a decade, buying and selling Melbourne addresses as part of a company with Mr Bissiotis and, formerly, his ex-manager Ralph Carr.
However, in August 2026, Martin announced he would cut all professional ties with Carr, following Carr’s conviction for rape and sexual assault.
The Abbotsford property which Martin and Mr Bissiotis are looking to offload is located at 401–407 Victoria St, on the corner of Albert St.
401-407 Victoria St, Abbotsford, currently returns $94,528 a year in rent and offers the potential to achieve a fully-leased income of approximately $230,000 a year.

Commercial real estate agency Teska Carson’s Rory Teska Szer and Larry Takis are overseeing the marketing campaign.
Mr Teska Szer said he expecting mostly investors, and potentially developers, to be among the buyers.
“You’ve got a great street presence in Victoria St, on that corner,” Mr Teska Szer said.
Set on a 955sq m land parcel, two of the four shopfronts are leased to a medical practice and a cooking school.
Mr Teska Szer added a previous tenant of one of the other shopfronts had been a restaurant, so it would suit a hospitality-style business.

Martin is also selling 367 Victoria St, Abbotsford.
In 2024, the building was listed with a different agency with a circa-$9m price tag, meaning a sale at $4m+ would be at least seven figures lower.
In October this year, Martin listed a commercial holding at 367 Victoria St for sale via Mr Teska Szer with $2.2m price expectations.
Earlier in the year, he sold 297 Victoria St for $2.085m, a sum $185,000 more than he originally paid for it.

Martin bid goodbye to 297 Victoria St, Abbotsford, for $2.085m earlier in 2026.
And in July, Martin farewelled a Port Melbourne apartment for $1.6m, after originally purchasing the two-bedroom home for $1.7m in 2021.
Between 2016 and 2018, a company of which Martin and Carr were then directors, acquired two Richmond properties for $2.2m and $2.915m.
They, along with Mr Bissiotis, also purchased 35 Butler St, Richmond, for $1.275m in 2019.
