Cushman & Wakefield is pleased to exclusively present for sale a 100% freehold interest in 16 Spring Street, Sydney.
A tightly held boutique asset in the heart of the Financial Core, positioned for SME demand and rental growth. Now separate from the consolidated site, the asset offers long-term value creation through repositioning and resetting the existing leasing profile towards a longer-term income base.
Located opposite the future Hunter Street Metro West Station (opening 2032) and 300m from the existing Metro, 16 Spring Street offers prime access to transport, retail and commercial infrastructure in Sydney’s most desired precinct. Supported by a diverse tenant income profile, the asset is tailored to Sydney’s deep SME occupier pool and well positioned to capture incoming growth.
Investment Highlights:
· A 100% freehold interest on a 461.6sqm site, delivering 3,171.8sqm of NLA across Ground and 10 upper office floors, with SP5 Metropolitan Centre zoning and an 8:1 FSR
