Colliers International\u2019s<\/a> Ben Young, Andrew Lewis, Jonathon Lumsden and Sam Neale have been appointed to sell or lease the former Geelong Post Office building located on the high-profile corner of Gheringhap and Ryrie Streets in the heart of Geelong.<\/p>\n\u201cThis building is a public feature, accentuated by the corner clock tower and French Second Empire style that was built in 1889-90,\u201d Mr Young said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe two-storey rendered brick structure originally included postal and telegraph services on the ground floor, with government offices on the first floor.<\/p>\n
\u201cResidential accommodation for the postmaster was provided to the west side of the building over both levels.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe total building area is approximately 1,695sqm, situated on 1,300sqm of Activity Centre Zone land.\u201d<\/p>\n
Located at the gateway to Geelong\u2019s CBD, Mr Lewis said that the former Geelong Post Office was ideally positioned to access the exceptional local amenity that Geelong has to offer including the expansive Johnstone Park, Arts Precinct, Little Malop Street Precinct and the Geelong Waterfront.<\/p>\n
\u201cSituated on the corner of two of Geelong\u2019s most prominent streets, this property stands tall, demanding a significant presence on the everchanging Geelong streetscape,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Geelong Train Station is a short walk away, connecting Geelong to Melbourne in under an hour.<\/p>\n
\u201cSurrounding this opportunity is both local and state government organisations together with prominent private businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former Geelong Post Office will be sold or leased via an expressions of interest campaign closing March 26 at 3pm, with an additional tender process for successful expressions of Interest submissions to occur after.<\/p>\n
