Former Heritage Substation Building an Exciting Prospect in the Heart of Sydney

Former substation of 1,936sqm with water views ready for transformation to bring a new energy and purpose to Woolloomooloo residents.

A boutique and character rich building in the heart of Sydney’s waterfront district with significant Heritage value has come to market.

The 1,903.9sqm property at 6 Lincoln Crescent across two levels features RE1 Public Recreation zoning, allowing the incoming purchaser a variety of creative options, including restaurants, pubs & bars, recreation facilities or childcare centres.

The flexible and creative space also boasts an expansive 1,432sqm rooftop terrace with panoramic views to Woolloomooloo, with its location benefitting from surrounding urban renewal projects, gentrification, Sydney Harbour and the highly populous residential catchment.

The Colliers team of Michael Crombie, Trent Gallagher and James Cowan have the exclusive listing.

“Bordering the Royal Botanical Gardens and the Art Gallery of New South Wales, this exceptionally unique property is ready for a new lease of life while paying homage to its heritage features. The incoming purchaser will have the ability to create something truly special, given the prime Sydney harbourside location and incredible views from the rooftop,” Mr Crombie said.

“With an occupier-centred design that has access points from both Lincoln Crescent and Mrs Macquarie’s Road, the building is in an area that has been transformed over recent decades, becoming a hub for recreation, retail and commercial,” Mr Gallagher said.

6 Lincoln Crescent, Sydney also enjoys the benefits of neighbouring the newly completed Sydney Modern Project, a $344 million transformation and expansion of the Art Gallery of NSW to create a new world class art museum experience.

6 Lincoln Crescent, Sydney is offered for sale via an Expressions of Interest campaign, closing Wednesday 16th April 2025.
