The state’s coffers will get a welcome stamp duty boost following the sale of the Supreme Court’s former offices for close to the $25 million asking price.
The building in question is a nine-level art deco pile at 436-450 Lonsdale Street, not the grander Supreme Court across the road, with its feature domed roof, on the corner of William Street.
The building is on a large 1490-square-metre site between Queen and William streets and has been empty since 2021 after expensive fire safety updates were identified. It’s no fire sale though.
Savills’ Tom O’Halloran, who negotiated the unconditional transaction with Tim Grant, Jamus Campbell and Nick Peden, said the building attracted 11 offers and 60 inspections.
