​​Data Centre Demand Drives Strategic Investment Opportunity in Rosebery​ 

​​Four-Level Boutique Building with Fully Fitted Data Centre Offers Strong Income and Strategic Appeal for Investors and Occupiers​ 

As Australia’s digital economy accelerates and demand for data infrastructure surges, Colliers is proud to present 74 Mentmore Avenue, Rosebery, an opportunity to acquire a hybrid commercial asset at the forefront of this transformation. Colliers team of Michael Crombie and Jackson Wray are managing the sale on behalf of a valued vendor, Centennial. 

Positioned in one of Sydney’s most tightly held inner-south precincts, this four-level boutique commercial building offers a compelling blend of secure income, strategic location, and future-ready infrastructure. Anchored by a long-term lease to Vocus, one of Australia’s top three internet traffic providers, the property is uniquely equipped to meet the growing demand for data centre expansion.  

Colliers Director In Charge | South Sydney Michael Crombie said, “A hybrid data centre and boutique office, 74 Mentmore Avenue is a substantial offering in one of Sydney’s most tightly held precincts. This property presents a remarkable opportunity for investors and occupiers seeking scale, strategic positioning, and proximity to key transport infrastructure,” 

“Its introduction to the market reflects the continued demand for high-quality industrial assets in the inner-south, and we anticipate strong interest from a diverse range of buyers.” 

The 3,207sqm building is currently 100% leased, generating a net passing income of $1.66 million per annum, with a WALE of 4.1 years. The ground floor is fully fitted as a data centre, while the upper levels offer modern, light-filled office accommodation recently refurbished with a $4 million capital works program. 

Colliers Director, Property Sales & Leasing Industrial & Logistics Jackson Wray added, “We’re excited to bring to market this exceptional four-storey commercial asset in the tightly held Rosebery fashion and creative precinct. Anchored by a secure data centre operated by Vocus, and featuring high-calibre office tenants including JD Sports, this is a great prospect for savvy investors,” 

“Positioned in one of Sydney’s most in-demand fringe locations, this landmark building offers a strong income profile, diverse tenant mix, and long-term growth potential.” 

With the building situated directly above a 132kV high-voltage transmission line, the site offers unparalleled power access which is an increasingly scarce commodity in Sydney’s urban core. The property’s E3 Productivity Support zoning permits data centre use, and its proximity to Sydney CBD, Sydney Airport, and major employment hubs makes it an ideal candidate for further data infrastructure development. 

The South Sydney market currently hosts seven data centres with a combined capacity of 74MW, and demand continues to rise, driven by AI, cloud computing, and enterprise digital transformation. 74 Mentmore Avenue is one of the few remaining scalable commercial assets in the area, providing investors with a foothold in this high-growth sector. 

74 Mentmore Avenue, Rosebery is offered for sale via an Expressions of Interest campaign, closing at 3:00pm (AEST) on Tuesday, 2 September 2025.
