<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/collingwood-vic-3066">Collingwood</a>’s northern edge continues to sharpen its reputation as one of Melbourne’s most compelling cultural precincts, where established creative institutions, leading hospitality, and independent fashion converge within a tightly held inner-city neighbourhood.

Set within this evolving pocket, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/derby-street-by-milieu-collingwood-4-derby-street-collingwood-vic-3066">Derby Street by Milieu</a> draws on a location that balances proximity to some of the inner north’s most influential destinations with the quieter, tree-lined character that defines the streets edging East Melbourne. Positioned just moments from both Smith and Gertrude Streets, the address sits on the periphery of Collingwood’s cultural core, offering immediate access without the intensity of its busiest frontages.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145576 project_image_fid=355945]

Gertrude Street, in particular, anchors the area’s identity as a destination for Melbourne’s leading food, art and fashion. Within a short walk, venues such as Marion, Cutler &amp; Co, IDES and the Builders Arms Hotel define a tightly curated dining scene with enduring citywide appeal, complemented by a strong fashion and retail presence including Havn, Le Labo and a selection of independent boutiques.

Nearby, institutions such as the Australian Print Workshop and Collingwood Yards sustain a constant rhythm of exhibitions, performances and creative output, embedding art and culture into the everyday fabric of the neighbourhood.

Smith Street, running parallel, extends this offering with a broader mix of hospitality and nightlife, maintaining its status as one of Melbourne’s most active inner-urban strips.

Beyond these high-energy streets, the immediate surrounds shift in tone. Derby Street and its neighbouring blocks are defined by low-rise heritage terraces, mature trees and a settled residential character. Fitzroy Gardens and Carlton Gardens are both within walking distance, alongside the Royal Exhibition Building and Melbourne Museum, bringing together green space and cultural landmarks within minutes of home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145576 project_image_fid=355985]

Connectivity remains a key advantage. The CBD sits within easy reach, accessible by tram along Smith Street in around 20 minutes, while also remaining close enough to walk or cycle, supported by the inner north’s established bike network.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/milieu-property">Milieu</a>’s long-standing connection to Collingwood underpins the project’s approach. With a portfolio that includes multiple nearby developments across Bedford, Peel and Napier Streets, the developer brings a sustained understanding of the area’s character and evolution. Derby Street continues this trajectory as a collaboration with award-winning Melbourne-based <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/studio-bright">Studio Bright</a>, marking the practice’s first multi-residential project in the inner north and reflecting a shared focus on design integrity and contextual response.&nbsp;

Balancing connection to the neighbourhood with a sense of seclusion and refuge, Derby Street by Milieu embodies a level of care and craft typically reserved for single residential projects. Comprising 22 residences across six storeys, with two to four-bedroom configurations priced from $1.15 million, the project is currently under construction with completion expected in late 2027.&nbsp;

A rare new apartment development in the Blue Mountains is the latest in a string of State Significant Development Applications submitted through the New South Wales Government's Housing Delivery Authority.

A total of 270 apartments are being proposed for the 1.16-hectare site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/blue-mountains-alpine-retreat-142-150-narrow-neck-road-katoomba-nsw-2780">142–150 Narrow Neck Road in Katoomba</a>, a parcel of land adjoining the former Katoomba Golf Course. The site was acquired for $3.85 million in 2021 by private developer VDM Prime.

The apartments, comprising a mix of serviced apartments, affordable housing, and traditional build-to-sell product, will be spread across eight low-rise buildings, along with a separate building for a new restaurant, arranged around a green spine that leads to a central park.

<img alt="Katoomba" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ee9a2072-f465-44f1-9076-80c9c8ecca02" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-22%20at%209.20.21%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=4bT0vQ7j_syl65wcrJmHGm3m5pTvwrY_" />

The Urban Design Report by Atlas Urban says the vision is to create a "contemporary mountain precinct that is responsive to its escarpment landscape, heritage character, and community context."

"The development responds to the current housing supply and affordability challenges identified under the NSW Housing Delivery Authority (HDA), providing a balanced mix of standard, affordable, and short-stay accommodation," the report noted.

"By introducing a variety of dwelling types and tenures, the proposal supports intergenerational living, local workforce retention, and greater housing choice within an area constrained by topography, heritage, and environmental protections."

Of the 270 units proposed, 52 will be serviced apartments. The remainder will comprise 54 studios, 121 one-bedroom units, 39 two-bedroom apartments, and four three- to four-bedroom residences.

<img alt="Katoomba" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f704508d-1bdf-4170-955d-0256652402a7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-22%20at%209.56.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=TzarHMO4gTOsblCqsbJQkvMqWj9nu2Au" />

The Design Report, by VDM Prime and appointed architect Antoniades Architects, noted that the design seeks to "provide a built form outcome that is highly considered, respectful and contextually fitting, whilst contributing positively to an evolving precinct."

"The site offers three frontages and the opportunity to provide a meaningful interface with the public domain environment. the design has a sympathetic response to streetscape and the green open space that surrounds the site."

The report states that the buildings are broken up to establish an appropriate bulk and scale, emphasised through height and setback strategies and defined through articulation that supports the transition of precinct granularity. It also notes that a central communal open space is established through the site to enhance the social dynamic and access to amenity, including natural ventilation and light to the apartments. The east and west frontages receive solar access during the morning and afternoon, whilst maximising views to the green open space.

The site adjoins the recently completed Yarrabee Katoomba development, comprising 24 duplexes that were completed last year and sold through McGrath Projects.

The relatively new Housing Delivery Authority pathway established by the NSW Government allows developers to submit State Significant Development Applications through a fast-tracked state process, effectively reducing reliance on local council approval pathways and aiming to accelerate housing delivery across New South Wales.

First look: Nearly 300 apartments pitched on former Katoomba golf course site

In Melbourne’s established inner east, the qualities that define a traditional house, width, height, and access to open ground, are increasingly difficult to replicate in new residential developments. Larger landholdings are scarce, and with them, the ability to create apartments that extend beyond compact, internalised layouts.&nbsp;

In <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/kew-vic-3101">Kew</a>, where the residential fabric is shaped by generous setbacks and mature tree canopies, that tension is especially visible.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/ricdanic-investments-pty-ltd">Ricdanic</a>&nbsp;is bringing forward a boutique collection of just 13 residences across two buildings at 9–11 Wimba Avenue, Kew. Comprising six homes at No.9 and seven at No.11, the project sits on a quiet, tree-lined street just off Cotham Road.&nbsp;

Each apartment has been planned with a level of independence more commonly associated with standalone dwellings, balancing privacy with the efficiencies of apartment living.

Architect Chris Idle, who has been practising for over two decades, says projects like this don’t come along often.

“There are very few opportunities to do these kinds of developments in leafy, established suburbs,” he explains. “To get this level of amenity, natural light, and architectural freedom in such a setting is extremely rare.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140755 project_image_fid=366267]

The internal planning begins with width. Living areas extend beyond five metres, allowing furniture, circulation, and glazing to sit comfortably within the same zone without compression. Ceiling heights shift from three metres through to five metres in select areas, changing the sense of scale as you move through the apartment. These proportions are paired with double-glazed windows and fully electric systems, balancing volume with performance, supported by a 7.2 NatHERS energy rating.&nbsp;

From the main living space, the apartments open directly outward. Large sliding doors connect to private gardens averaging 125 square metres, with some residences also incorporating balconies of around 60 square metres. Rather than acting as secondary outdoor zones, these areas sit flush with the internal floor level, extending the usable footprint of the home and allowing for multiple modes of use, whether for quiet daily routines or larger gatherings.&nbsp;

The landscape, led by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/john-patrick-landscape-architects">John Patrick</a>, reinforces this relationship. Across the site, 23 different plant species have been introduced, including a mix of native and established varieties, arranged to maintain privacy while preserving sightlines and light access. Gardens are not treated as decorative buffers but as functional extensions of the apartments, shaped to accommodate movement, seating, and informal use over time.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140755 project_image_fid=366265]

Architecturally, the project draws from Kew’s historic residential language. Handmade bricks by Krause define the exterior, grounding the buildings within the material palette of the suburb, while interior finishes, stone, timber flooring, and restrained detailing, continue this approach internally. Architect Chris Idle describes the intent as long-term rather than stylistic: “We wanted it to feel timeless.”&nbsp;

This emphasis on durability extends to how the buildings are accessed and secured. Entry is managed through keyless systems, with a double-gated basement incorporating number plate recognition for vehicle access. Each residence is paired with a private lock-up garage accommodating two to three cars, alongside storage, while all entry points are monitored continuously. These measures sit alongside EV readiness and fully electric infrastructure, aligning the project’s operational systems with its long-term design outlook.&nbsp;

The setting remains central to how the development is experienced. Located within walking distance of Kew Junction and close to established schools including Carey Grammar and Xavier College, the address benefits from existing infrastructure while maintaining a residential quietness that is increasingly difficult to find at this scale.&nbsp;

Construction is being delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/sinjen">Sinjen</a>, with a 10-year structural guarantee, with completion targeted for mid-2027.

High-end Sydney developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a> has secured approval for one of its latest Mosman projects, one of the first developments approved by Mosman Council under the NSW Government’s Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy.

The approval represents an important step in delivering well-considered housing next to established village locations on Sydney’s Lower North Shore, in line with the intent of the Low and Mid-Rise zoning framework. 
&nbsp; 
There are currently 13 other sites lodged within Mosman Council under the policy, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/27-29-heydon-street-mosman-nsw-2088">Heydon Street</a> among the first to receive development consent. 
&nbsp; 
Abadeen Founder and Executive Chairman Justin Brown said the project reflects a considered and appropriate response to its planning context. 
&nbsp; 
“This approval demonstrates how carefully considered, design-led development can align with the objectives of the Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy," Brown said.

"The scheme has been designed to respond sensitively to its village setting, with a built form, scale and level of amenity appropriate to its local context. The determination reflects a balanced and considered planning outcome, with Council recognising the capacity for this site to accommodate additional housing within a well-located and established precinct.”

<img alt="Abadeen secures first approval under low and mid-rise housing policy for Heydon Street, Mosman" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="92811ce3-02e8-44fc-996e-c61ae039bd3e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Heydon%20Street%20Aerial.jpg?VersionId=ZHJVuWQT64QcdrFJx963pFWFzTX7lI2I" />

The Heydon Street approval followed extensive consultation with Mosman Council, with Abadeen working closely with Council throughout the assessment process.

The approved scheme comprises 27 residences, with only four per floor, creating a low-density living environment. The building will include four half-floor penthouses designed to capture views across Middle Harbour, Sydney Harbour and the surrounding district.&nbsp;

The project is expected to appeal to downsizers and owner-occupiers seeking house-like proportions, privacy and local convenience. There will be north-facing Middle Harbour views from the second level upward. It is also just a flat 100-metre walk to Bridgepoint Shopping Centre, which will appeal to owner-occupiers and in particular downsizers.

Two-bedroom residences are expected to be priced from $1.99 million when sales launch later this year. 
&nbsp; 
Joe Tack, CEO at Abadeen, said the outcome reflects both the quality of the site and the broader need for well-located housing. 
&nbsp; 
“This is a highly considered site within a highly established local setting, offering elevated views and strong connectivity. The project has been designed to respond to that context, delivering a scale and quality of housing aligned with both the planning framework and evolving market demand.” 
&nbsp; 
“This approval is particularly significant in the context of Mosman, where new housing supply has historically been limited. While it represents the first approval of this scale in Mosman to be achieved in over 50 years, it is importantly located within a well-established residential location, in close proximity to the established commercial amenity of Spit Road and Mosman Village. It reflects strong confidence in Abadeen’s approach to design, delivery and community integration, while contributing to the delivery of much-needed housing in a highly constrained market.”

Abadeen has an established track record across Sydney’s Lower North Shore, with recent completions including KOYO in Crows Nest and ENSO in Neutral Bay.

In Mosman, Abadeen recently completed The Hampden, with Mosman Residences on the corner of Spit Road and Clifford Street scheduled for completion later this year. Construction has also commenced at Burran Residences, comprising three full-floor ultra-premium homes positioned just 50 metres from Balmoral Beach, with residences expected to achieve prices in excess of $20 million. Two further projects are also progressing through planning within the local government area.

Apartment developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a> is one of the latest entrants to the Gold Coast development market, with its debut project set to be one of the most boutique offerings on Chevron Island in recent years.

Martello has unveiled <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/aere-chevron-island-18-20-mawarra-street-chevron-island-qld-4217">Aere Chevron Island</a>, a collection of 33 large-scale two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments across an 18-storey building on Mawarra Street.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=367517]

The developer has placed a strong emphasis on wellness, briefing architecture firm Raunik Design to embed this philosophy into the project. It is a direction <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a> plans to carry through its future developments along the coast.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a> has positioned Aere as a continuation of its human-centric development approach, with a focus extending beyond amenity to the fundamentals of layout, natural light, and spatial planning. Promax Construction has already been appointed to deliver the project, with construction expected to commence in the coming months as part of the group’s broader expansion into South East Queensland.

Rising above the low-rise fabric of Chevron Island, Aere’s design emphasises generous internal proportions and uninterrupted outlooks, with residences oriented to capture coastal, skyline, and waterway views. Interiors prioritise open-plan living, with large-format glazing and carefully considered transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=367508]

The upper levels are dedicated to larger-format homes, including four-bedroom residences designed as half-floor offerings. These layouts prioritise separation between living and sleeping zones, along with increased privacy and storage, features more commonly associated with detached housing than traditional apartment product.

Aere’s private resident amenity spaces centre on wellness. A rooftop level will incorporate a heated swimming pool, sauna and spa, while the rest of the wellness spaces throughout the building include a&nbsp;residents’ lounge, dining areas and a gym.

The inclusion of both social and quieter retreat spaces reflects a broader shift in higher-end apartment design on the Gold Coast, where developers are increasingly responding to owner-occupier demand for buildings that support long-term living rather than short-stay use.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=367814]

Aere is positioned within walking distance of Chevron Island’s village centre along Thomas Drive, as well as the HOTA cultural precinct via the Green Bridge, connecting residents to parklands, galleries, and event spaces.

For <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a>, Aere represents the first in a series of planned Gold Coast developments, with the group also exploring opportunities in other coastal precincts, including Kirra and Palm Beach.

The move north comes as sustained population growth and infrastructure investment continue to reshape South East Queensland, with developers increasingly targeting boutique, design-led projects in established lifestyle pockets. Aera’s relatively small scale and emphasis on spatial quality position it within this emerging segment of the market.

Office Lease

<html><body>
Investa Commercial Property Fund (ICPF) announced it has finalised over 95,000 square metres of office leasing over the last year.
ICPF said they achieved a 97% occupancy and a WALE of 5.1 years as of the 30th June.
In Sydney, ICPF leased over 72,800 square metres during the year, including a lease renewal of 8,700 square metres to Deutsche Bank at Deutsche Bank Place, 126 Phillip Street, Sydney (pictured above), 3,500 square metres to a life insurance firm at 40 Mount Street, North Sydney (pictured below) and 4,400 square metres to flexible workspace provider IWG’s Spaces brand at ICPF’s development at 60 Martin Place Sydney.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/8/26/40%20mount%20st%20north%20sydney.jpg" alt="">
In Melbourne, ICPF finalised over 9,600 square metres of leasing, with asset 120 Collins Street, Melbourne the stand-out, with 19 leases transacted.
120 Collins Street has capitalised on historically low vacancy levels and strong demand for prime office accommodation especially in the desirable East End precinct, as the building nears 100% occupancy.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/8/26/120%20collins%20st%20mel.jpg" alt="">
In Brisbane, a new lease was signed at 259 Queen Street (pictured below) over 4,500 square metres.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/8/26/259%20queen%20st%20brisbane.jpg" alt="">
Finally, at QV1 in Perth two existing tenants signed lease renewals totalling circa 6,800 square metres.
Jason Leong, Fund Manager, ICPF said: "Australia’s major capital cities continue to outperform, with vacancy in the Sydney and Melbourne markets near 10-year lows and, specific to Sydney, there is very limited new office supply on the horizon."
David Cannington, Head of Research and Strategy, Investa said: "Looking ahead, we expect that the recent strength in office demand will moderate on softer economic conditions. However, office market vacancy in both Sydney and Melbourne will stay low and high-quality prime office space will remain the preferred option of CBD office market tenants."
"Both pre-commitment of office projects currently under construction and continued prime market rental growth are positive indicators of a strong preference for high quality office."
Ben Christie and Milly Stockdale from Colliers International said: "These new leasing transactions at 120 Collins were a result of the high level of building and surrounding amenity coupled by accommodation quality and building services."

A vacant two-level commercial building has been leased by Melbourne accounting firm BR Wellington Pty Ltd.
Situated at 177 Burnley Street, the leasing deal negotiated by Gray Johnson agent Rory White will see BR Wellington occupy the property from July. 
The property consists of a 1970s office building of 1,230 sqm with six secure off street car parking spaces included at the building, positioned on the corner with Palmer Street. 
White says BR Wellington has secured a new 10 year lease at a commencing annual rental of $320,000 net plus GST. 
“The leasing is equal to a rate of $260 per square metre with fixed annual increases of four percent,” Mr White added. 
The neighbourhood was benefitting from new building developments, refurbishments and strong tenancy demand.
Mr White says that the perceived panache of the area was driving activity.

Insurance giant Youi have taken a lease at Gateway Office Park at Murarrie, one of Brisbane's most sought-after office parks. 
Youi have taken 880 square market of office place on the second level of the building.
The new office space will serve to house specialist skills such as software development and marketing.
Savills agents Shaw Harrison, Jason O'Meara and Wes Woodroffe negotiated the lease.
Harrison said they were looking for accommodation for Youi in the more traditional areas like Milton, Newstead and Woolloongabba, however they found the location at Murarrie a suitable fit.
“They found that the location was ideal for their team and assessors to gain access onto the road networks,” Harrison said. 
Previously occupied a smaller building in Hendra, the new lease at Murarrie will provide Youi with additional space to accommodate their future expansion plans. 
Harrison said the interest in the Gateway Office Park accommodation to date has been overwhelming. 
“We are seeing a trend infringe occupiers seeking to occupy in more traditional industrial locations,” he said.
“Tenants that are normally occupying an office or warehouse facility are seeking out more corporate accommodation in stand-alone office premises that provide them with a more solid corporate identity.”
Savills also negotiated the leasing of professional services firm Acclario IT on a lease in the same building.
Acclario leased 435 square metres on the ground floor with an existing fitout in place.
Acclario managing director Peter Birbeck described the moving process as streamlined.
“The whole transition including the negotiations, and planning for the move from the existing building was painless and streamlined,” Birbeck said. 
“Savills were very professional and courteous, which made the whole process less painful than it could have been.”

The historic five-storey Assembly Hall building at Scots’ Church in Melbourne CBD’s ‘Paris End’ is now fully leased.
Designed by Henry H. Kemp and built by Swanson Bros. in 1914, it sits immediately in front of Westpac’s modern headquarters and is adjacent to the 1873-built Scots’ Church, on the corner of Russell Street.
Mens’ shoes and fashion accessory label Double Monk has taken a 42 square metre space on part of the ground floor on a 6+6-year deal at $35,000 per annum plus GST with 3.5% increases.
The five suites, across the ground and second floors, cover a total of 172 square metres and the leases will initially bring in a combined rent of circa $94,000 per annum gross plus GST.
Rates range from $450sqm to $550 square metres plus GST per square metre for the second floor.
Other tenants include Jackie Knight Consulting, William Angliss Charitable Fund and Enable Workplace Consulting.

Land said the Gothic Revival-style Assembly Hall offered rare self-contained offices in the coveted east end of Collins Street.
“Assembly Hall has retained its historic character over more than a century, an element that continues to draw tenants across the boutique office market,” said Land.
He said strong levels of enquiry were received from a number of different commercial operators, with legal, financial and real estate consultants, not-for-profit groups, and psychology and counselling services particularly prominent.
“The city’s east end offers a vibrant mix of its famous high-end shopping that has the street dotted with iconic global brands; high-profile modern and classic office buildings, and a range of food and beverage options, while Assembly Hall is also located a short distance from the heart of the Melbourne’s CBD.
“Tenants continue to look for spaces that offer attractive lifestyle elements and are well located, with Assembly Hall’s location on Collins Street between Swanston and Russell Streets easily accessible via a multitude of public transport options.”

The landmark Mungo Scott building in Summer Hill in Sydney's inner west is set to be leased after a contemporary transformation.
The five level commercial office tower had been an operating flour mill before production ceased in 2009.
The building dates back to 1922 when it was built by Mungo Scott. The cluster of functional milling and storage buildings were taken over by Allied Mills in the 1950s.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/10/29/mungo2.jpg" alt="">
Now the commercial premises forms part of the EG Funds &amp; Daiwa House Flour Mill Development which comprises over 400 apartments.
Refurbishment work on the building’s interior is now being finalised, with the offices expected to be ready for occupancy later this year.
Original structural and architectural features such as timber posts and girders and exposed ceilings have been retained as part of the office design.
JLL's Guy Baseby said the space will suit a range of users, including medical, education and fitness businesses, but is most likely to appeal to creative occupiers.  
“The design and fit-out will have a community feel that aims to encourage collaboration."
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/10/29/mungo3.jpg" alt="">
Some equipment from the mill will also be preserved and displayed in the space as part of the refurbishment.
Surrounding commercial spaces suggest the market price will range from $400-$600 per sqm net.
Colliers International agents James Cowan, Jordan McConnell and Chrios Baltussen are marketing the property for lease in conjunction with JLL's Guy Baseby.
Cowan said the commercial space would suit a range of businesses.  
“This building is a rare opportunity to secure premium office accommodation in a convenient inner-western location,” he said.
“The added benefit of this property, and what makes it unique, is the versatility in occupation ranging from medical and fitness, to architectural and tech. We are already fielding a high level of enquiry.”
Colliers Jordan McConnell called the property a trophy asset.
"The property certainly falls within the trophy asset category and will definitely be a statement to any incoming tenant," he said.
"Having a history dating back to 1922 and recently undergoing a meticulous renovation we expect demand to be high and the suites to be snapped up quickly.”

Multiple office suites spanning the whole floor of a strata titled building near Westfield in Sydney's CBD are now available for lease.
They are available to be leased either individually or interconnected through Ray White Commercial South Sydney and Henderson &amp; Horning.

Strata office suites now leasing in Sydney CBD

<html><body>
Solstice Media has committed to a new office sublease in Adelaide CBD, in a move to be closer to its diverse advertising and editorial client base.
The South Australian publishing company, which collates InDaily, The Lead, The Forager and The Southern Cross took over 135 square metres of office space on level three at 169 Pirie Street earlier this month.
Savills Australia’s Adam Hartley negotiated the two-year lease term on behalf of sub-lessor Lucid Consulting Engineers at a rate of circa $420 per square metre, per annum.  
Hartley said the tenant wanted to be closer to the heart of the Adelaide CBD, which made the Hindmarsh Square location a suitable option. 
“Solstice Media was also able to take advantage of the existing fit-out, which was improved to suit their occupancy," he said.
“A recent upgrade to the property has provided A-grade bathrooms and new end-of-trip facilities.”

A flurry of leasing activity within a prominent George Street building has marked the beginning of the migration of tenants towards the emerging Queens Wharf precinct in Brisbane.
Leasing agents Daniel Boyes and Daniel Byrne of Savills have secured four separate leases in the heritage listed building situated on the corner of Queen and George Street.
Over the last 12 months Savills have transacted 23 deals in the George Street Corridor ranging from 45 sqm to 300 sqm at an average rental rate of $538 per square metre.  
Savills leasing manager Daniel Boyes said that new businesses are wanting to be a part of the buzz on George Street
“There is a real hype around the revitalisation of this precinct and tenants are already being drawn here as they are anticipating great things to come,” Mr Boyes said.
Future X Energy is the most recent tenant to secure 130sqm of space on level two for an initial three year term. 
Leasing Executive, Daniel Byrne said that all negotiations were done over a one week period from the first inspection. 
“Future X Energy had an immediate requirement and were very quickly drawn to the building due to the location and unique heritage offering,” Mr Byrne said.
Being a start-up business Future X Energy have taken up a fully fitted space within the building so they could begin trading right away.
With the first stages of the Queens Wharf Precinct predicted to come to completion by 2022, prospective tenants are already asking all the right questions. 
“People are excited about what has been proposed – their first question at any inspection is always around what has been earmarked for the region,” Mr Boyes said.
Other tenants who have taken up residence in the same address include Ratch Australia, One World Migration and Force One Realty.

Savills report tenant activity high at Brisbane's George Street corridor 

<html><body>
The corporate headquarters of 7-Eleven, Starbucks and the Withers Group is set to relocate from Mt Waverley to Richmond.
The move to Building 2 at PodCo and Terraplex’s 658 Church Street (pictured above) will come in 2019 after a leasing deal negotiated by Colliers International.
The 7-Eleven, Starbucks and Withers Group offices will move to 7,400 square metre vacated by Just Group, which has moved to St Kilda Road after 21 years in Richmond.
“It was our expectation that Just Group’s departure would pave the way for the building to be multi-tenanted over a number of floors but we are thrilled 7-Eleven, Starbucks and the Withers Group are moving into the whole building giving us the opportunity to undertake a full refurbishment of the asset over six levels and reposition the building for the next 20 years,” PodCo/Terraplex’s Anthony Wilson said.
Travis Myerscough one of the agents who negotiated the deal said 7-Eleven, Starbucks and the Withers Group would join a growing number of businesses gravitating towards Richmond from the outer suburbs including MYOB, Fonterra and Reece Plumbing.
“We’ve seen a shift in demand with the rag traders who have historically been the key occupiers in Cremorne, such as Just Group, Country Road and Colorado, now vacating and making way for an increasingly diverse mix with groups such as Disney, Tesla and Iveo Group recently moving into the area,” Myerscough said.
