Tightly held harbour view office hits market for the first time in 25 years
Positioned on level seven of one of Sydney’s most elite buildings is a premium office space that has become available after 25 years of tenancy.
The office spans 524 square metres and boasts sweeping vistas of the Royal Botanic Gardens and Sydney Harbour, the ideal views when cutting big deals.
The building at 131 Macquarie has built a reputation as a home for Sydney’s most influential figures, with level seven previously owned by three private families behind a long-running legal practice.
The other building’s residents include landowners, property developers, a pub baron, liquor and gaming-related groups, financial services heavyweights and a foreign government consulate, demonstrating that the new residents will be in good company, especially if they’re looking to network, according to Andrew Vines, principal at Retail Commercial Consultancy, who is managing the sale.
“This is not just a commercial property sale – this is an invitation to join one of the most powerful networks of private ownership in the country,” he said.
“Level seven offers its purchaser much more than an office floor – it offers status, connection, and future opportunity in one of Australia’s most valuable locations.”
For those with a visionary mindset, the space could also be snapped up for a residential conversion. In 2012, multiple levels of the building, including level seven, were approved for transformation into luxury four-bedroom apartments.
The market potential is strong for this redevelopment, as high-end residential spaces within this pocket of Sydney’s CBD are becoming increasingly rare.
