NSW Top 5: Own the old Balmain Tramway Substation
It might look a little plain from the outside, but step inside this the old Balmain Tramway Substation in Rozelle and you’ll know instantly why it’s seeing huge interest among commercial property investors.
More than 110 years old, the iconic building incorporates a modern, open plan office fitout with a number of original features such as internal gantry crane, exposed trusses and soaring ceilings.
The property at 10 Hancock St, spread over three levels and with 470sqm of internal space, is offered with vacant possession and while currently positioned as an office space, its residential zoning has agents spruiking its potential for conversion into a luxury four-bedroom home.
The once in a lifetime opportunity will go to auction on October 10.
Newtown site a huge drawcard
The site on Munni St in Newtown.
Industrial and warehouse listings might have dominated New South Wales’ commercial property listings over the past week, but it was a prime development site in Sydney’s inner west that stole the show.
Industrial assets occupied five of the top 10 spots among the most viewed NSW properties of the week on Realcommercial.com.au, but many only had eyes for the Newtown site, primed for residential development.
The 622sqm site, just 4km south-west of the CBD, comes with DA approval for a development designed by award-winning studio Smart Design Studio, while agents are also highlighting an opportunity to lodge new plans for five torrens title terraces, in order to increase the property’s yield.
Located close to both Newtown and Erskineville stations, as well as parks and retail, the property is for sale via expressions of interest, which close on September 30.
