‘Tropical’ brothel for sale with one of a kind feature
A unique brothel has hit the market with an array of unusual features and themed rooms billed as a place where “sexual desires are always put first”.
A Sydney commercial complex that includes an unusual brothel with indoor pools, themed rooms, spas and showers has come up for sale.
The listing for the commercial property states “the usage is council approved which adds significant value to the property”. Part of the site is understood to have been leased for approximately 35 years to an adult business.
Known as ‘Casablanca’, and also traded under the name ‘Liverpool Erotic Massage Centre’, the commercial asset has been billed as one of the last opportunities to own a legal brothel within the area due to local council changes.
Last sold in 2018 for $5.4m, the property has hit the market again through Elders Commercial in Liverpool.

Another commented: “I have never seen an in-ground heated swimming pool in a brothel”.
The Facebook page promoting the business has an array of nude and erotic images and advertisements about different “girls”.

Licensed adult sex properties continue to operate around Sydney, however the listing states that it is a rare opportunity as “council will no longer approve this usage in the (Liverpool) CBD”.
Located on Northumberland Rd in Liverpool, the business is described on its website as “a tropical paradise”.

“Enjoy a swim in their indoor heated pool while you make your introductions with the beautiful women. Once you’ve found your fancy, take your pick of eight suites which are tastefully decorated and have the amenities needed to enjoy your time to its fullest.”

Commenting on the market for brothel sites generally, Ray White head of commercial property research Vanessa Rader said investors typically view them as “income-generating assets, similar to other commercial ventures”.
“However, the sensitive nature of this industry presents distinct challenges for potential investors,” she warned.
“Concerns surrounding insurance, security, and safety can be significant deterrents, potentially impacting property values and borrowing capabilities.”

She noted that properties have been successfully redeveloped or repurposed for alternative commercial uses over time.
“(This) broadens their appeal to a wider range of investors. This adaptability can be a key consideration for those contemplating involvement in this controversial sector, as it offers potential exit strategies and future value creation opportunities beyond the property’s current use.”
