Just a few months after acquiring a prime Broadbeach site on the corner of First Avenue and Surf Parade, family-run developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/raptis">Raptis</a> has filed fresh plans for a new apartment development.

Raptis is seeking to deliver a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/17-19-first-avenue-broadbeach-qld-4217">29-storey tower with 73 apartments</a> on the 818 sqm site. It will be the developer's seventh project in the suburb, as they are approaching completion of The Sterling on George Avenue.

There will be a pool, barbecue and outdoor dining area, residents lounge and dining, sauna and steam room, gym, and a Yoga and Pilates studio.

<img alt="Raptis" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b554da3f-7344-49aa-b1c9-44cf459af0d7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-05%20at%2010.41.45%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=zzjWu1iO1wnuYv4EV4fyOyf5nSXjGYut" />

Raptis Joint Managing Director, Evan Raptis, says they remain&nbsp;committed to developing quality infill sites across the Gold Coast in the lead-up to the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.

"This project continues our long track record of delivery in Broadbeach, and we look forward to bringing another premium development to this thriving precinct."

The announcement follows strong delivery momentum for Raptis, with The Sterling Broadbeach nearing completion and construction well underway on the final stage of the Waterpoint community adjacent to Harbour Town. The developer's continued investment in the Gold Coast reflects confidence in the region's apartment market fundamentals, underpinned by sustained Southeast Queensland population growth.&nbsp;

The outlook for the region is further bolstered by infrastructure investment tied to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games, which is expected to drive continued economic and population growth across the SEQ corridor.&nbsp;

Subject to a favourable response from Gold Coast City Council, construction on the new First Avenue tower is targeted to commence before the end of 2026.&nbsp;

Brisbane development veteran Kevin Seymour's Seymour Group is set to deepen its presence on one of Brisbane's most tightly held riverfront addresses, lodging revised plans for a luxury apartment development on Oxlade, just a few doors down from The Oxlade, which it completed in 2024.

The <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/70-72-oxlade-drive-new-farm-qld-4005">new project at 70-72 Oxlade Drive</a>, directly north of The Oxlade, will have 27 apartments across a seven-storey building&nbsp;overlooking the Brisbane River and Merthyr Park. It's a revision from a 2021-approved design.

Designed by bureau^proberts, the project has evolved from the previously approved 26-apartment scheme, introducing an additional penthouse level while maintaining a low-density, boutique character. The development will comprise 26 three-bedroom apartments and a single four-bedroom penthouse, supported by two basement levels with 86 car spaces and 34 bicycle spaces.

The architectural response is centred around two distinct building forms separated by a landscaped open-air atrium.&nbsp;"This dual composition captures and embraces Brisbane’s subtropical environment whilst breaking down built form and scale," the submission to the Brisbane City Council noted.

<img alt="First look: Seymour Group returns to Oxlade Drive with revised riverfront apartment plans in New Farm" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c12d84d0-bc11-4067-b46f-5bd2d786a34d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/new%20farm%20landscape.png?VersionId=YEPc2k5CAdh6aAPlu4uVpgZadh4MEfRd" />

A defining feature of the design is a deep landscaped void running through the centre of the building, creating what bureau^proberts describes as a "natural ravine" that enhances airflow, daylight penetration and resident amenity. The design report notes that the separation of the two building volumes is intended to maximise natural light, cross-ventilation and outlook while strengthening connections to the surrounding riverfront setting.

Curved balcony edges, integrated planting and extensive landscaping throughout the façade reinforce the subtropical design approach. The building's façade is softened by elevated gardens and planter beds, creating a green edge that complements the established landscape character of Oxlade Drive and neighbouring Merthyr Park.

New Farm has become one of Brisbane's most sought-after suburbs for developers delivering premium downsizer-focused apartments.

GRAYA has been particularly active in the precinct, completing both Chalk and York in recent years, while construction of Moray House, being delivered for Spyre, is now nearing completion. Architect-turned-developer Joe Adsett recently launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/arcilla-new-farm-by-joe-adsett-28-maxwell-street-new-farm-qld-4005">Arcilla on Maxwell Street</a>, an exclusive collection of just nine apartments.

A new residential tower will be the first piece of a broader mixed-use precinct set to reshape a prominent Newcastle West site, with local developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gwh">GWH</a> bringing its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/cambridge-quarter-newcastle-west-12-denison-street-newcastle-west-nsw-2302">Cambridge Quarter</a> vision to market.

The first release, Tempo, will introduce 87 apartments across a 24-storey tower, marking Stage 1 of the residential component of a larger urban regeneration project planned for the western end of Newcastle's city centre, encompassing the former Cambridge Hotel site.

Positioned on Denison Street, Tempo has been designed as the inaugural building within Cambridge Quarter, a precinct that will ultimately combine apartments, retail activation and revitalised public spaces including the revamping of the Cambridge Hotel.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135876 project_image_fid=368853]

The tower will comprise a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, including layouts with multipurpose rooms, catering to a broad cross-section of owner-occupiers. Apartment sizes range from around 60 sqm to 192 sqm, with a number of residences oriented to capture views across Newcastle Harbour, the city skyline and coastline.

GWH has emphasised liveability in the design, with open-plan layouts extending to generous balconies and terraces. Residents will have a choice of two interior palettes, while specifications include engineered stone benchtops, SMEG appliances, full-height bathroom tiling and secure building access. Premium upgrade packages will also be available.

Multiple rooftop resident retreats will provide communal outdoor space overlooking the harbour and city, offering an elevated amenity layer above the activity of the precinct below.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135876 project_image_fid=368851]

The broader Cambridge Quarter vision extends beyond the residential tower itself. Ground-level retail activation and landscaped public areas are planned throughout the precinct, creating a walkable neighbourhood environment connected to the surrounding renewal of Newcastle West. The Cambridge Hotel is also earmarked for future redevelopment into a family-friendly hospitality venue integrated with the new precinct.

The project is strategically positioned within walking distance of Newcastle Interchange, providing access to light rail, regional rail services and direct connections to Sydney. Residents will also be close to Honeysuckle, Newcastle Harbour and the city's beaches and coastal walkways.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135876 project_image_fid=368852]

For GWH, Cambridge Quarter represents one of its most significant Newcastle developments to date. The locally based developer, which has operated in the Hunter region since 1995, describes the project as a new chapter in the ongoing transformation of Newcastle West.

GWH Executive Director Jonathan Craig said the project had been shaped by a focus on creating lasting community connections.

"We take pride in creating places that last. Spaces where people feel connected, comfortable and a genuine sense of belonging," Craig said.

"Cambridge Quarter is something we are truly proud of, a place shaped by local knowledge, built with care and designed to be part of Newcastle's next chapter."

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/ss-projects">S&amp;S Projects</a>,&nbsp;Rainbow Bay's busiest developer,&nbsp;has officially lodged plans for the largest development in its booming local portfolio, seeking approval for a further 88 apartments on Boundary Street.

The proposal&nbsp;at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/209-213-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">209–213 Boundary Street, Coolangatta</a>,&nbsp;marks the next chapter in the developer's transformation of the southern Gold Coast beachside precinct. It will be its fifth in the area, having already delivered Flow, Awaken and Esprit, while construction continues on the 38-apartment Radia. The new project would rise 57 metres above a consolidated 1,518 sqm site, on the same street as Radia and Esprit.

&nbsp;

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cottee-parker-architects">Cottee Parker</a>, the proposed development comprises 88 two and three-bedroom apartments across a contemporary podium-and-tower form that integrates extensive landscaping from street level through to the rooftop.

The tower would be delivered above a basement and multi-level podium accommodating resident and visitor parking, with the residential component commencing from level three. The design incorporates cascading planting throughout the façade, landscaped podium edges, and deep planting zones along the Boundary Street frontage.

<img alt="First look: S&amp;S Projects lodges plans for 88-apartment wellness tower at Coolangatta's Boundary Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="677e6615-b5c0-4b6c-b4f9-efb14fcde1a6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/ss%20da%20pers.png?VersionId=YOnPKQm7IFXv0M5H326djEpxk80500Hi" />

A key feature of the development is its expansive rooftop wellness and recreation precinct. Plans reveal a resort-style pool deck, gymnasium, sauna, steam room, hot and cold plunge pools, rooftop terraces, barbecue areas and landscaped relaxation spaces positioned to capture views across the southern Gold Coast coastline.

The rooftop wellness focus builds on the vision S&amp;S Projects first outlined when it acquired the site for $20.25 million last year.

"We are taking every advantage to create a truly unique rooftop wellness experience with a natural feel for residents, offering stone features throughout and an underlying theme that emulates a botanical garden," S&amp;S Projects founder and director Paul Gedoun said at the time.

The proposal seeks a 57-metre building height, representing a 50 per cent uplift on the site's mapped 38-metre height limit. Planning documents argue the additional height is consistent with recently approved and emerging towers in the immediate Boundary Street and Rainbow Bay precinct.

Urbis, acting as planning consultant, said the development would provide "88 dwellings, comprising a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments, contributing to housing choice and supply within an established medium to high-rise coastal urban neighbourhood."

The scheme has undergone extensive pre-lodgement consultation with the City of Gold Coast, with the design refined following feedback relating to architectural expression, landscaping, traffic access and podium treatment.

<img alt="S&amp;S" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0a2d70fd-62ac-4b83-97c6-b798fc1243dd" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-05%20at%209.16.31%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=yHmghUwKM3IVGpBktQU1mE.0Lpf3WimG" />

The architectural team is led by Brisbane-based Cottee Parker, one of Australia's most active residential design studios, with landscape architecture by Dunn + Moran. The consultant team also includes ADG Engineers, Windtech and Acoustic Works.

S&amp;S Projects has become one of the most influential private developers operating on the southern Gold Coast. Since entering Rainbow Bay in 2022, the company has assembled a portfolio exceeding $1 billion in end value, establishing itself as a key player in the area's evolution into a premium apartment destination. Pezet Matheson will again handle the sales for S&amp;S.

Coolangatta is entering another wave of apartment development, following the delivery of several prominent residential projects in recent years.

John Kearney's Immerse Projects will launch&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kaiya-kirra-beach-5-haig-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Kaiya on Haig Street</a>&nbsp;soon, meanwhile, Palm Beach-based Sherpa Property Group is preparing to bring its debut Coolangatta development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/flourish-viver-87-griffith-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Flourish Viveré</a>, to market later this year, subject to approvals.

A landmark former orphanage site in Surrey Hills could be transformed into a new residential community under plans lodged by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/antipodean-land-developments">Antipodean Land Developments</a> that would deliver 76 apartments and townhouses while restoring some of the suburb's most significant heritage buildings.

The burgeoninng Melbourne-based developer has submitted plans for the 9,158 sqm site at 1 Kent Road and 24 Durham Road, home to the former St Joseph's Home for Destitute Children, a historic institutional complex dating back to the late 19th century. The proposal seeks to adaptively reuse several heritage buildings while introducing two new four-storey residential buildings set within extensive landscaped grounds.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a> and Kerstin Thompson Architects, the project has been conceived as a contemporary residential village embedded within a restored heritage precinct. The development team describes the design approach as "The Village in the Garden," with new buildings positioned among mature landscaping by OCULUS and significant heritage structures.

<img alt="First look: Antipodean Land Developments plans heritage-led apartment community in Surrey Hills" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="44ec8c1b-c0b6-44ae-859e-5811b3e6a023" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20%281%29.png?VersionId=p.p1_KFh4iQoV4nisdnPfQBAsWNi7m79" />

The proposal would deliver 76 dwellings comprising a mix of apartments and duplex-style residences, significantly increasing housing supply on one of the largest privately held residential landholdings in Surrey Hills. The development includes 127 car spaces, 24 bicycle spaces and more than 1,000 sqm of communal amenity, with the existing chapel building earmarked for conversion into resident facilities.

According to the planning submission, the project centres on the restoration and adaptive reuse of the site's most significant heritage assets, including the original c.1889 St Joseph's building, the chapel designed by architect Augustus Andrew Fritsch, and the historic brick perimeter walls and entry gates. The proposal also incorporates the retention of other contributory buildings including the former infirmary and school building.

Tract Consultants, in the planning report accompanying the application, said the scheme had been shaped through extensive heritage analysis and design development.

"The shared vision for the Site by the project team has culminated in a scheme which successfully breathes life back into a historic site while delivering upon the objectives of Victoria's Housing Statement in a carefully curated and contextually responsive manner."

<img alt="First look: Antipodean Land Developments plans heritage-led apartment community in Surrey Hills" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7263b7d8-95ea-400f-9531-6ca7d22c3c33" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20%282%29.png?VersionId=4cR1tiWOsDpgxEOwZi5vVFcyvvOsYkIE" />

The proposal is being assessed under Victoria's Significant Residential Development with Affordable Housing pathway. As part of the application, three per cent of the project's residential development cost would be contributed to the Social Housing Growth Fund. The development would also provide a diverse mix of one, two and three-bedroom residences targeting a broader range of buyers than typically found in Surrey Hills' detached housing market.

Sustainability initiatives include an anticipated 66 per cent BESS score, natural cross-ventilation to 80 per cent of apartments, 28 per cent deep soil landscaping and a canopy cover outcome exceeding local planning requirements. The proposal also sets aside more than 1,083 sqm for communal indoor and outdoor resident amenity spaces.

Planning documents describe the property as one of the largest underutilised residential sites in Surrey Hills, arguing it presents a rare opportunity to introduce "missing middle" housing in an established inner-eastern suburb while preserving and revitalising a significant heritage precinct.

Antipodean Land Developments has built a reputation for design-focused residential projects across Melbourne, particularly in the medium-density sector. Previous developments include Neighbourhood in Brunswick East, delivered with Breathe Architecture, and Balfe Park Lane, designed by Kerstin Thompson Architects.

They've been very active in site acquisition as they build out their future development pipeline. They recently launched Thornubury House, 45 apartments above a mix of commercial, retail, and food and beverage tenancies, and have plans for a boutique project in Fitzroy and another <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/vic/antipodean-plan-apartments-for-deepdenes-missing-middle-on-whitehorse-road">"missing middle" project</a> on Deepdene's Whitehorse Road.

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.”

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.”

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

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.
