The 225 sqm suite at 3A Macquarie Street, Sydney is being offered for sale with vacant possession. The property has been occupied by a private family office for close to two decades and sits within the affectionately known Toaster building overlooking Circular Quay, the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
The campaign comes at a time when Sydney's office market continues to experience a widening gap between commodity office stock and highly differentiated assets, particularly those offering scarcity, prestige and owner-occupier appeal.
Unlike traditional office investments, the Macquarie Street property is expected to attract a highly targeted buyer pool comprising wealthy individuals, family offices and offshore purchasers seeking a long-term foothold in a tightly held harbourfront location and is for sale through Miron Solomons and Jack McGregor of Cushman & Wakefield.
Miron Solomons of Cushman & Wakefield said the property represented one of the most unique office offerings ever available in Australia.
"It has been operated as a family office for close to 20 years and this is the first time it has come to market since.
"This is the best office suite offering in the country, presents beautifully and is likely to be one of maybe a handful of harbour side office suits in Sydney’s CBD with a balcony that looks directly over Circular Quay and the Harbour Bridge. It has its own direct entry off Macquarie Street that adds to its uniqueness. It is simply unmatched in Australia."
The offering includes recently refurbished office accommodation and a private balcony with uninterrupted harbour views, while benefiting from incredible amenities ranging from the Botanic Gardens, hatted restaurants and key transport links which provide immediate access to Sydney's ferry, rail, and light rail networks.
While much of the attention in the office sector remains focused on institutional-grade towers and premium commercial assets, Jack McGregor of Cushman & Wakefield says a separate market continues to emerge for boutique office holdings that blur the line between commercial real estate and trophy property.
“3A Macquarie Street sits firmly in that category, as the building's ownership profile is also expected to appeal to prospective purchasers.
"The building is renowned for its premium residential apartments and some of the wealthiest names own and live directly above it. The buyer for this property will most likely be an individual looking to occupy the space themselves."
The vendor is understood to be vacating the CBD after operating a family office from the property for almost 20 years, creating a rare opportunity for a new owner-occupier to secure immediate occupation.
The campaign will also provide a useful gauge of current demand for scarce harbourfront real estate beyond the traditional residential market.
“As equity markets remain volatile and affluent buyers continue to seek hard assets in tightly constrained locations, premium Sydney property with genuine scarcity attributes continues to attract attention,” said Mr Solomons.
“In that regard, the Macquarie Street offering is likely to be viewed as much for its lifestyle and status appeal as its office credentials” he said.
3A Macquarie Street, Sydney is for sale via an international expressions of interest campaign closing on 26 November 2026.
