A Full-Circle Moment: Buxton Returns Home to Albert Park as We Grow to 36 Offices


Buxton is proud to return to where it all began, as we welcome Cayzer Real Estate into our Port Phillip family - a strategic and meaningful acquisition that strengthens our service offering across Albert Park, Port Melbourne, and beyond.

Albert Park holds a special place in our story - it’s where the spark of Buxton first ignited.

It was here that our founder, William Buckhurst, swapped the lure of the gold rush for building, buying and selling homes. From Montague Street to St Vincent Place, many of South Melbourne’s iconic terraces and prestige buildings still reflect his legacy, shaping the streets we walk today.

Now, by joining forces with Cayzer to form Buxton | Cayzer in Bayside Melbourne, we’re proud to continue that legacy through aligned community values and deep local knowledge. This collaboration expands our network to 36 offices in Victoria – and while our footprint continues to grow, our connection to local communities remains at the heart of everything we do.

With over 160 years of history in Victoria, this next chapter honours our past while embracing the future. Our unified database now provides greater exposure, seamless collaboration, and broader opportunities for buyers, sellers, and renters alike.

 

Driving progress, with purpose

Managing Directors, Matthew Young and Arthur Apostoleros from Buxton Port Phillip, share the vision behind this strategic move - “Our goal in acquiring Cayzer was to expand our market share and elevate our offering across Port Phillip. Cayzer’s strong client base and respected brand identity make them a natural fit for our Business.”

For Geoff Cayzer, Founder of Cayzer Real Estate, this move also serves as a personal home-coming. “In successfully merging my business with Buxton, a company I’ve long admired, represents the coming together of the best of both worlds. Buxton’s progressive approach, combined with the history and values that built Cayzer, ensures my legacy continues with integrity and care. It’s a full-circle moment for me, having started my career at Buxton, I couldn’t imagine a better home for the business and our clients going forward”.

As part of this transition, Buxton Port Melbourne will move to Cayzer’s larger office at 370 Bay Street, while the Montague Street location becomes Buxton | Cayzer Albert Park. These offices will temporarily operate under a co-branded identity to ensure a seamless experience for all clients.

 

Local legacy, New Energy

Our goal is simple: to extend our reach, resources, and expertise - without ever losing the personal touch our clients value most.

With enhanced strength across sales and property management, the combined Buxton | Cayzer team brings fresh energy and deeper experience to every property journey. We believe progress starts with connection - and we’re more curious than most about what’s possible for our clients and communities.

This move isn’t just growth; it’s a return to our roots in Albert Park, reimagined for today. Grounded in history, driven by the future, we’re here to proudly serve the Port Phillip community we get to call home. And it all started here.

Buxton | Cayzer – Port Melbourne and Albert Park officially opened their doors on Tuesday, 20th May.
