<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> offers plenty of reasons to live vertically, but moving from a substantial family home into an apartment can expose the compromises of high-density living. Privacy, room for guests and usable living space tend to matter more when an apartment is intended as a permanent home rather than an occasional coastal base.

A typical residential floor at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-eveleigh-broadbeach-7-9-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Eveleigh</a>, on Surf Parade,&nbsp;contains just four apartments. The 94-residence development by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> is predominantly made up of expansive three-bedroom homes, with a limited collection of half-floor penthouses above.

Across the apartment floors, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has used the relatively limited number of residences to give each home greater access to natural light and outlook. Living spaces extend towards full-height glazing, while a series of bay windows frame selected views across the Pacific Ocean, city and hinterland rather than treating the building edge as a continuous wall of glass.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360965]

“The apartment floors deliver a collection of homes that embrace controlled outlook via a series of bay windows deliberately framing moments of view,” Rothelowman Director Kim Lowman said.

From outside, those projecting forms contribute to the tower’s faceted profile. Strong horizontal and vertical elements establish its proportions, while the changing position of the sun alters the light, shadow and reflection across the façade throughout the day.

The same attention moves inside the apartments, where the material palette combines warm timber, natural stone, metallic detailing and softer curved forms. Kitchens sit within the main living zone, with stone island benches, integrated joinery and European appliances, before the living areas extend towards the glazing and the outlook.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360981]

Three genuine bedrooms provide room to accommodate family and guests, while two secure car spaces and storage address some of the practical considerations that can become more noticeable when moving from a larger home. Feedback from the display suite has centred on the warmth and restraint of the interiors, with buyers commenting that the residences feel like homes rather than conventional coastal apartments.

A limited collection of half-floor penthouses occupies the upper levels, increasing the scale of the living spaces and adding private balconies and elevated finishes. From this position, the outlook extends between the ocean and hinterland.

Outside the private residences, The Eveleigh separates its shared spaces between the podium and rooftop. The podium is centred on wellness, with subtropical landscaping surrounding a swimming pool and pool terrace, yoga garden, private gymnasium, sauna and hot and cold plunge facilities. Landscaped retreats and pavilions provide additional places to sit away from the main recreation areas.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360966]

Higher in the building, a rooftop pavilion and private dining suite sit alongside resident lounge, barbecue and outdoor dining areas, opening towards panoramic views across the ocean, city and hinterland.

“Buyers are no longer just looking for an apartment, but a lifestyle where they can relax, reset, and enjoy a balanced way of living,” Hirsch &amp; Faigen Director of Sales Matt George said.

Interest to date has come from established owner-occupiers and interstate lifestyle purchasers, including buyers planning a future move to the Gold Coast. Many are coming from larger homes and want to reduce ongoing maintenance without giving up space for family and guests, privacy, two car spaces or the ability to entertain at home.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360969]

Much of that daily life can also take place beyond the building without requiring a drive. Kurrawa Beach and Pratten Park are an easy walk from Surf Parade, while Pacific Fair, Oracle Boulevard, The Oasis, restaurants, cafés, entertainment and public transport are also within walking distance.

The Eveleigh is Hirsch &amp; Faigen's fourth Gold Coast development since entering the market in 2021, following The Hemingway at Palm Beach, The Emerson at Kirra and Yves at Mermaid Beach. Each of the preceding projects sold out before completion.

“Broadbeach had been on our radar throughout our time operating on the Gold Coast,” the developer said. “Following our projects in Palm Beach, Kirra and Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach represented the natural next step for the business.”

The Surf Parade site brought together proximity to the beach, protected coastal outlooks and walkability to dining, shopping and recreation. Hirsch &amp; Faigen also identified the street as an emerging premium residential address, with enough separation from Broadbeach's busier destinations to retain a quieter environment at home.

The Eveleigh is now under construction by Maxcon, with completion forecast for mid-2028. Three-bedroom residences are currently available from $2.87 million.

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

A long-stalled Campbelltown development site is back in play, with new plans for 139 apartments set to supersede a mixed-use scheme approved almost a decade ago but never built.

The new proposal for 28 Cordeaux Street would deliver 116 market and 23 affordable apartments in a part 14-storey building, bringing a substantial new project into a Campbelltown market where new apartment supply remains limited.

Plans have been filed over the 3,092 sqm corner site at Moore-Oxley Street, around 600 metres from Campbelltown Railway Station and the city-centre retail core.

The site already carries a mixed-use residential approval dating to 2016. Doroch Architects has now been engaged on a larger replacement scheme, which is progressing as a State Significant Development Application following a Housing Delivery Authority determination in August 2025.

The apartment mix comprises 39 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments make up just over half of the project, while three-bedroom homes account for 20 per cent.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="136dd5b9-3791-4da6-9e31-76f533f5b4de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da2.png?VersionId=LgOSy9nwf5u.MGswBBwaGGxuX8QpHSl_" />

Of the 139 apartments, 23 will be delivered as affordable housing under the in-fill affordable housing provisions of the Housing SEPP. The affordable component represents 15 per cent of the residential gross floor area and will be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider.

Doroch has sought to break the scale of the building into two distinct elements, with a masonry podium of around four storeys establishing the street edge before the residential tower steps back above.

The corner position has shaped that approach. Cordeaux Street faces toward the commercial and civic centre, while Moore-Oxley Street leads into the lower-scale residential neighbourhood to the south, and the design verification report describes the site as "bridging the commercial core to the north and established residential areas to the south."

The podium will be expressed predominantly in face brick, while the upper levels shift to brushed and grooved concrete cladding with darker metal detailing. Recessed sections, deep balcony edges and landscaping break down the upper form, with an approximately 11.8-metre setback to the northern boundary addressing the adjoining St Peters Anglican School.

Campbelltown has been starved of new residential developments in the last decade.

The only other notable development set to come to market this year is ALAND's Queen Square, a mixed-use precinct on over two hectares that will comprise apartments above a vibrant ground-level retail and hospitality dining precinct.

First Look: Sherlock Construction pitches apartments for low-rise Deception Bay

Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

<img alt="MAYD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1bcbb05-e659-4b47-8bd4-1e595315e2ad" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%202.05.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=jj0XEud1X1DuLt7_KyElhjMdZGOXmLHP" />

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

Surry Hills

<html><body>
A converted Surry Hills warehouse has been listed.
The approximately 797 square metres property at 19 Foster Street comprises circa 3,154 square metres of NLA.
The property is 100 percent let, with a WALE of 2.4 years (as at 1 September 2018).
It has dual street frontage to Foster Street and Wentworth Avenue. 
The industrial-style space was refurbished in 2013 with high ceilings, polished concrete floors and exposed brickwork.
It has been listed for sale through Knight Frank’s Jonathan Vaughan and John Bowie Wilson, with Karbon Property’s James McCourt and Joshua Watts, on behalf of Security Capital Australia. 
Vaughan said commercial properties in the area are tightly held.
“Substantial office buildings in Surry Hills are highly sought after by investors as they don’t come to market very often and we are continuing to see an increase in interest in the city fringe, with a number of groups now undertaking active city fringe buying strategies,” Vaughan said.
“Further, the asset’s favourable lease expiry profile and low rental base will provide an incoming owner the opportunity to add significant value by leveraging one of the most sought after leasing markets in the country.
“With opportunities such as these hard to come by and the asset catering to a generational shift in the occupier market, we expect the industrial-style creative space will draw significant interest from local and offshore investors.”
McCourt said the Sydney city fringe area had the lowest vacancy rate of any commercial market in Australia.
“The vacancy rate in Surry Hills has been contracting for three consecutive years as it has become the number on destination for the growing TAMI sector.
“As a result vacancy in the city fringe area was sitting at around 3% relative to 4.6% in the Sydney CBD, as at January 2018. 
“The falling vacancy rate combined with growing demand and limited supply has led to substantial growth in prime rents in recent years.
“This provides the incoming owner with the opportunity to benefit from a substantial reversionary uplift in 19 Foster Street.”
The expression of interest campaign is set to close at 4pm on Wednesday 31 October.

The $60 million makeover set to transform a derelict service station in Sydney into a luxury retail and residential apartment building has been unveiled by AVID Property Group (AVID).
The six-storey project on Flinders Street, The Rathbone, will reference Surry Hills’ past.
AVID Property Group CEO Cameron Holt said the name and the aesthetics were a tribute to the Rathbone Terraces that were a feature of the Surry Hill surrounds in the early 1900s.
“AVID is aiming to achieve a high sustainability score for The Rathbone, which means, where possible, we’ll be including materials with a high level of recycled content, low volatile organic compound paints, natural ventilation, and extensive landscaping,” Holt said. 
<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/2018/9/10/The%20Rathbone%20living%20and%20balcony.jpg" alt="">
AVID anticipates construction for The Rathbone will commence by early 2019, with completion expected mid-to-late 2020.
There will be a number of retail spaces on the ground floor, and 28 luxury apartments.
The project will comprise of one, two and three-bedroom apartments and include single and multi- level designs that will incorporate open plan living areas to make the most of natural lighting.
The project marks AVID’s debut into the Sydney apartment market.
The design team for the project includes architecture firm Scott Carver, SJB Interiors and specialist branding agency, The Property Agency.

AVID's Sydney debut with luxury Surry Hills apartments

One of the apartments in the boutique low-rise Surry Hills project On Bourke has sold for $2.9 million.
The William Smart-designed complex, made up of just four whole floor apartments, are set to launch to the market in the next two weeks through BradfieldCleary agent Mark Daley.
The prices for the three remaining apartments range from $2.25 million to $2.6 million.
The proposed top storey of the building appears like a continuation of the neighbouring terrace house chimneys.
The facade has also continuity with its surroundings, with a dark bronze fence and balustrades referencing the metal fretwork of the nearby terraces.
Smart knows the area well. His office is just up the road from the Bourke Street project, and after the 2004 conversion, lives in the penthouse apartment above.
Caplis bought <a href="https://maps.google.com/?q=471b+Bourke+Street+Surry+hills&amp;entry=gmail&amp;source=g" target="_blank">471b Bourke Street</a> in 2016. 
Off form concrete ceilings bring practical and visual benefits to the project.
The high end finish performs well thermally and allows maximum ceiling heights to be achieved while keeping the overall building height down.  
It will have minimal and elegant interiors, curved living spaces, oak timber floorboards, wool carpets and traditional hard set plaster finishes.
<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/2018/7/12/smart2.jpg" alt="">
The bathrooms evoke a luxury hotel feel, with stone mosaic curved walls, recessed pelmet lighting and metallic highlights.
Developer Luke Caplis at Freehold Capital has witnessed the drift in buyer desire to smaller, boutique developments with a recent project.
"After buying and developing an old mechanic workshop on the corner of Liverpool and Riley street in Darlinghurst, I discovered the market was strong for high end apartments that stuck out from the everyday norm," Calpis said.
That project, called The Riley, was a conversion of the warehouse designed by SJB Architects, where prices hit $2.43 million.
Each had three levels and a rooftop pavilion with the master bedroom and terrace.
Caplis engaged the William Smart for the project after he spotted his award winning work on Indigo Slam, the Chippendale warehouse residence of Judith Neilson, the art dealing founder of the White Rabbit Collection.
The $8 million warehouse space was formerly the Simona fashion HQ before its conversion by Smart, whose intention was to provide the emerging urban precinct with a piece of interesting architecture.
Caplis's boutique Bourke Street project will have four whole floor apartments, with the overall height of the building not disturbing the historic streetscape.
"I enlisted William Smart to create something that simply does not exist in Surry Hills," Caplis said.
Smart has been involved in inner-city low-rise boutique apartment projects, which are quickly becoming the preferred apartment choice for many buyers, for almost two decades.
Essentially built to resemble living in a house more than an apartment, these low-rise development embrace a sense of neighbourhood community, rather than the hotel-like feel of residential skyscrapers.
<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/2018/7/12/smart3.jpg" alt="">
Born in New Zealand, and raised in rural Western Australia, Sydneysiders have got to know of William Smart's works since the late 1990s when he worked on the award-winning Olympic Park Rail station.
For the prior five years, he had been working for Gersau Architecture, a small architectural firm in the south of France, and with Foster and Partners in London. Smart turns 50 later this month.
The avowed Modernist has received critical acclaim with awards including the AIA Robin Boyd Award and AIA Wilkinson Awards for Residential Architecture, the World Architecture Festival INSIDE Award for World’s Best Residential Interior and numerous national interior design awards.
In 2017, at the Asia Pacific INDE Awards, founder William Smart was named winner of The Luminary, recognising the “ongoing contribution of an industry icon, whether casting a long shadow across many disciplines or excelling ahead of the pack in one”.
He founded Smart Design Studio in 1997 and has over 35 staff. He currently lives above his sandstone offices, with plans to relocate his home and practice to more industrial premises at Alexandria.
Smart had previously lived at one of his earliest projects, a 40 square metre Springfield Avenue apartment in Kings Cross.
As a first home buyer he paid $223,000 in 2002, selling for $478,000 in 2012. It featured in the 2004 book, 50 of the world's best apartments.
Dubbed Smart Apartment, it was a low-budget renovation of a one bedder in the Sandringham building which incorporated a sliding "art wall" by Tim Richardson.

Sydney property developer Michael Teplitsky has sold a Surry Hills hotel site off market to Golden Age Group.
There are plans to convert it into a luxury hotel, which has preliminarily been named 'The Treehouse.'
Teplitsky had plans for a hotel at the Wentworth Avenue address which homes the derelict Key College House. The Tyne House premises date back to 1916 with the innovative glazed facade set to be retained.
The 2016 plans would have seen architecture firm Bates Smart add six floors atop the building as part of the conversion to a 19 level mixed-use hotel and apartment development which was dubbed 8Hotel.
The new plans from the Melbourne-based Golden Age group propose a 19-storey hotel-only development with 287 rooms.
There will be a ground floor restaurant/cafe, bar and lobby, as well as a rooftop bar.
Golden Age chief executive Jeff Xu told the AFR they are confident in the hotel market in Sydney and Melbourne.
The purchase comes after Golden Age and Starwood Capital, Golden Age's capital and funds management division, formed a $600 million alliance last year to develop a luxury apartment and hotel complex on Melbourne's Spring Street.
Golden Age bought the site from Grocon.
Wentworth Avenue has seen a number of conversions in recent years, most notably across the road where the Griffiths Tea building was converted into luxury apartments.
Prices in the block fetched as high as $4 million off the plan, but have struggled to onsell at similar prices.

One of Sydney’s most exciting and iconic retailers has bid farewell to the once thriving fashion destination of Surry Hills as the suburb continues its transformation to a food destination. 
Gunning leasing agents, Anthony Tsapicounis and Alberto Da Grava said the iconic retailer Wheels &amp; Doll Baby called it quits after 30 years in the prominent location of <a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-retail-nsw-surry+hills-502609750" target="_blank">259 Crown Street, Surry Hills.</a>
“A combination of factors has contributed to the change in focus for the area,” they said. 
<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/2018/5/14/wheels2.jpg" alt=""> “Surry Hills has seen a shift from what once was a working class industrial suburb, into a technology and media hub, with specialist food precincts attracting a diverse mix of people.
“The gentrification of the inner city has changed consumers needs and wants. Fashion retailers and in particular the on-street boutique retailers have been severely impacted by the rise of online shopping as well as the renovation of Pitt Street Mall and Bondi Junction. 
“A new 5 x 5 lease to a superfood café chain at a gross rental of $1,000 sqm at 259 Crown Street, Surry Hills cements this trend,” they said.

The Surry Hills creative HQ and home of innovative food photographer Geoff Lung has sold ahead of its auction.
Lung, one of Australia's leading hotels and resorts, food, travel, interiors and lifestyle photographers, has been based in the New York style warehouse since the early 1990's.
Ivan Bresic and Shannon Whitney at BresicWhitney have the Foster Street offering with $3.2 million hopes, but it is understood to have sold at $3.5 million plus. 
The mixed-use space, which includes a two bedroom apartment that spans the entire second level, sits on the second floor of Surry Hills' iconic 1920's Edwards &amp; Co tea warehouse.
It was once the administration floor. Tea was hoisted up to the upper floors and dropped down a central chute to horse and carts for delivery.
The sign atop the facade remains in red and white glazed bricks built into the parapet.
The minimalistic property with industrial kitchen spans 210 sqm of floor space, not including mezzanines, with rows of floor to ceiling original windows. It's the only space in the building with five metre ceilings.

Surry Hills whole floor warehouse conversion for sale

<div class="attributePanel">
Online publisher Jackie Maxted headlines the buyers in the settlement of the iconic Griffiths Tea Surry Hills warehouse conversion.
Maxted, who founded the Beauty Heaven website, paid $4 million for one of the penthouses in the now New York-style Federation warehouse apartments.
The two-storey, three bedroom penthouse, is one of seven.
The landmark Wentworth Street building is the $37 million development of the Cornerstone Property Group. It now comprises 39 apartments designed by PopovBass architects.
BresicWhitney are marketing some of the apartments that didn't sell in the building that had laid empty for 30 years.
In 2015 Maxted recently paid $4.55 million for one of Bondi Beach's rare original sandstone cottages.
The purchase came shortly after Beauty Heaven Group was bought by Bauer Media.
