There are also 531 car parks.
The hectare site – North Sydney’s largest commercial land holding – offers significant development upside (story continues below).
With acquisition fees ($4.2m) and other expense ($28.2m), CCIT is paying $454.4m.
Coupled with last month’s purchase of 100 Arthur St, North Sydney, and 66 Goulburn St in the CBD, the group controls $1.1 billion worth of assets in the city.

“The proposed acquisition marks another step forward in CICT’s portfolio reconstitution journey to drive sustainable growth and diversify income sources through accretive acquisitions and recycling capital to higher yielding assets,” he added.
“It will strategically augment our presence in Sydney, where we have embarked on acquiring 66 Goulburn St and 100 Arthur St,” according to the executive.
“The total investment…will provide CICT with a new engine of growth in a developed market with strong fundamentals, and the potential to ride on the city’s gradual recovery and rejuvenation in the mid to long term”.
