99 Queen Street reigns supreme in Melbourne's CBD

MELBOURNE, 29 May, 2024 – Positioned within the heart of Melbourne's evolving commercial landscape, 99 Queen Street stands poised for its forthcoming role in the city's evolving landscape. Situated in proximity to the esteemed Collins Street and with a commanding presence opposite the iconic Queen & Collins building, this unassuming property embodies the potential for substantial returns, set against a backdrop of escalating demand for premium real estate within the vicinity.

The allure of 99 Queen Street lies not only in its strategic location but also in its untapped potential for growth and redevelopment. With opportunities for refurbishment, re-letting, and sustainable enhancements, the property offers a canvas for investors and developers to leave their mark on Melbourne's skyline while meeting the rising demand for modern commercial spaces.

For sale through Daniel Wolman, Oliver Hay, Leon Ma of Cushman & Wakefield on behalf of a private family, the price guide, which is in the early to mid $20 million range underscores the desirability of this asset within Melbourne's competitive real estate market. 

Situated within a prime location boasting a Net Lettable Area (NLA) of 4,153sqm*, the 508sqm* site is enveloped by a vibrant tapestry of hospitality, retail, and daily amenities, its strategic positioning offers unparalleled access to a plethora of conveniences.
