Abadeen HQ78

Leading developer Abadeen has officially completed construction of its $100 million landmark project, HQ78—a high-tech commercial and warehouse precinct in Alexandria that has redefined the standard for creative, design-led workspaces in Sydney’s inner east. Following the success of the first release, which sold out within weeks of launch, the final release is now on the market, giving buyers the opportunity to walk through completed spaces and secure a position in what is fast becoming one of Sydney’s most sought-after creative business hubs.

Located at 78 O’Riordan Street, HQ78 offers an unprecedented level of sophistication in the commercial-industrial market. Purpose-built for forward-thinking businesses, the project caters to a wide range of uses including car distributors, podcast and creative studios, boutique coffee roasters, food production kitchens, bridal and high-end fashion showrooms, wellness studios, luxury furniture or design showrooms, and premium wine cellars.

Abadeen Executive Chairman and Founder, Justin Brown, said HQ78 represents the next evolution of commercial property in Sydney. “HQ78 is unlike anything currently available in this market. We made the deliberate decision to hold back the final release until completion so buyers could walk through and fully appreciate the vision. This is more than a warehouse project—it’s a curated hub for creativity, commerce and innovation, built for the next generation of entrepreneurs, designers and premium brands.”

The precinct comprises 42 premium warehouse suites ranging in size from 95 to 238 square metres, two full-floor commercial office suites of 650 square metres each, and a 777sqm flagship retail showroom with high street visibility. The buildings feature intelligent architecture and elevated finishes that blend aesthetic appeal with practical functionality—bridging the gap between traditional warehousing and high-end commercial design.

HQ78 has already attracted significant attention from a diverse buyer base. Among early tenants is Hyundai, which has secured a prominent ground-floor space to showcase its new electric vehicle (EV) range—a strategic move targeting younger, design-conscious customers in one of Sydney’s most active automotive corridors.

Matt Hudson, Managing Director of Hudson Retail Group and lead sales agent for the project, said the level of demand had been strong throughout construction. “We’ve had great interest leading into completion, and we’re excited to finally bring the final release to market. This is the first development of this calibre in this part of Sydney—designed to meet the needs of modern businesses that prioritise quality, flexibility and presentation. We look forward to helping buyers secure the last remaining opportunities.”

A recent market report by Charter Keck Kramer identified a critical shortage of modern, high-tech industrial and commercial spaces in the Alexandria and Botany precincts. With planning changes encouraging residential and mixed-use developments, the availability of new commercial stock has significantly tightened—making HQ78 a rare opportunity in an increasingly constrained market.

The final release at HQ78 is now selling, with a limited number of warehouse suites still available starting from $978,500. Buyers interested in securing space within this landmark creative and commercial precinct are encouraged to contact Matt Hudson, Managing Director at Hudson Retail Group, on 0404 001 166 or via email at matt@hudsonretailgroup.com.
